Medical Marijuana Bill up for Vote

[Jacob Bell]

The state Senate is poised to vote on a bill legalizing the use of marijuana in Delaware for medical reasons.

The bill, based on the Marijuana Policy Project's model medical marijuana legislation, is scheduled Thursday for a Senate vote.

With a doctor's written recommendation, patients with serious medical conditions that could be alleviated by marijuana would be allowed to possess up to six ounces of the drug from a state-registered "compassion center." The state Department of Health and Social Services would issue identification cards for such patients to help ensure they are not subject to arrest. Patients also could designate caregivers who would receive ID cards. Such caregivers would be allowed to assist no more than five qualifying patients.
