Speak Up: Opposing pro-marijuana forces clash over legalization

Posted

In Delaware, cannabis activists and some state lawmakers hope to legalize adult recreational use of the substance soon. But they’ve found an unlikely foil in Delaware’s existing medical marijuana industry. At a hearing last month, representatives from Delaware’s medical cannabis industry lauded efforts to increase legal access to marijuana but said the way House Bill 150 goes about doing so would be detrimental to their businesses. But Cannabis Advocacy Network believes these representatives want their businesses to be protected at the expense of consumers and other Delawareans looking to make money off marijuana.

  • The Delaware way. — Tommy Bou
  • Not surprising. The dispensaries/state are looking at this as a cash cow business for them. Legal only if you buy from them. — Beth Riggin Dorman
  • We all probably need this right about now. — Merv Sparks
  • Pro-marijuana is just more Democrat establishment bull. Just try growing your own. They will let you smoke it, if you bend the knee. The state of Delaware just wants the money and the control of the individual. — Bob Beckman
