Legal recreational marijuana, long a pipe dream, could soon be reality in Delaware.
Legislation that would allow adults to buy and consume cannabis in the First State is set to be filed in the coming weeks, and though passage is far from certain, the main sponsor is optimistic.
“It’s close, it’s close,” said Rep. Ed Osienski, D-Newark. “We’re talking one or two votes” away from approval by the House of Representatives.
While some details are still being finalized, Rep. Osienski is hopeful the measure will be officially introduced by the time lawmakers return from the February break on March 9.
