Strong support in Delaware for decriminalization, and a further push by activists for legalization.
"Medical marijuana was legalized in Delaware in 2011, and now cannabis consumers want state leaders to consider legalizing the drug for personal use.
“We have decades of misinformation, the propaganda model has been rampant in this country for over 70 years,” said Zoe Patchell, spokeswoman for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana.
Patchell is among those in Delaware who are lobbying lawmakers to create legislation that would allow adults to legally purchase and consume marijuana. Supporters argue that the drug is natural, safe and less harmful than alcohol."
Though there may be a push to legalize marijuana in full, the state may only be ripe for decriminalization at the moment. The poll numbers suggest the state is ready for such a move.
"A recent poll commissioned by the Marijuana Policy Project found that 68 percent of Delawareans support removing criminal penalties for marijuana possession."
