After years of opposition and advocacy, a bill is coming forward to legalize marijuana in the First State.
Unlike the eight states and D.C. where marijuana was legalized by voter initiative, Delaware law does not allow for a referendum. This is why State Senator Margaret Rose-Henry is putting the final touches on a bill that, if passed, would tax and regulate marijuana in Delaware.
Law enforcement statewide appear to be showing strong preliminary support for the legislation, "Law enforcement wants this bill. I'm pleased to tell you that there are police officers who think this is a good thing that we are going to reduce their having to arrest people who don't need to be arrested," said Rose-Henry.
