DOVER — Puff, puff… pass?
Legislation introduced Thursday would make Delaware the 11th state with recreational marijuana, enabling individuals 21 and older to legally get high.
Lawmakers unsuccessfully attempted to legalize pot last General Assembly, but the bill failed in the House in June. This measure shares the same number as the previous proposal — House Bill 110 — but contains plenty of differences.
Under the bill, individuals would be able to buy cannabis and cannabis-infused products from special shops. The measure does not specify what the cost would be but does tax cannabis at 15 percent.
Using marijuana in public or in a vehicle would remain against the law if the bill passes.
Unlike the other 10 states with legal marijuana, Delaware would not allow individuals to grow their own weed. (Washington only allows homegrow for medical marijuana patients.)
