Delaware is making significant strides toward establishing a regulated marijuana industry for recreational use by adults.
The Office of the Marijuana Commissioner has begun notifying selected applicants to start the supplemental application process, which will lead to conditional licensing.
This follows a lottery held on October 24, where hundreds of applicants participated. A second lottery for retail licenses is scheduled for next month.
The establishment of the Office of the Marijuana Commissioner was part of legislation enacted in 2023, paving the way for adults to use marijuana recreationally in Delaware.
As the process progresses, many are looking forward to the opportunities and regulatory framework that will accompany the legalization of recreational marijuana in the state.
