Delaware took another step toward becoming the ninth state to approve recreational marijuana up to an ounce for those over 21.
The General Assembly's House Revenue and Finance Committee voted 10-2 Wednesday to release legislation to legalize recreational cannabis.
However, it could take much longer to get a full House vote, as the bill's sponsors work to improve the legislation over the next several weeks.
"I want to get as many people at the table so we're not going back and piece-mealing changes to the bill, and going back and fixing things that may arise after the bill is signed into law that Colorado had to do once it was started," said Rep. Helene Keeley, D-Wilmington.
The law as written would regulate and tax cannabis much like alcohol. Individuals would be prohibited from operating a vehicle under the influence, carrying it across state borders and growing or creating products on their own, and companies would still be allowed to drug test employees.
During the two-hour meeting Wednesday, advocates for legalization, including residents, medical marijuana patients and attorneys voiced their support of the bill.
