Only Carney Stands In The Way Of Legalized Marijuana Now

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on March 28, 2023 30 Comments

In an historic session, the State Senate passed both HB 1 and HB 2 this afternoon.  Since neither bill was amended in the Senate, they both now await action from the Governor.  The Senate votes were overwhelming, and legislators I’ve talked to believe there’s a veto-proof majority in the House.  I simply cannot overstate the […]

Carney Vetoes Marijuana Bill

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on May 24, 2022 18 Comments

It deserves its own thread, and Carney deserves all the vitriol we can throw at him. This veto defines his administration and who he is. Legalization is inevitable.  We’ll likely just have to wait for a new governor–one who comes out, says they support legalization and will work for its passage. Here’s the article. Let’s […]

Sham Marijuana Legalization Has Failed – Long Live REAL Marijuana Legalization

Filed in National by on July 2, 2021 3 Comments

Lacking social equity provisions, sham weed legalization failed in Delaware. Good. Next time bring back a real legalization bill by cutting the corrupt Delaware way out altogether.

As of today, it is legal to grow marijuana plants in your home or yard in New Mexico: up to six of them each, according to a law passed in a special session of the state legislature, with a cap of 12 plants per household. People 21 or older may possess up to 2 ounces (56 grams) of marijuana, and the smell of marijuana is no longer probable cause for cops wanting to search property, including vehicles.

New Mexico is the new model. Cut out the cops and fucking capitalist ghouls and let’s demand actual legalization. Not some bogus bullshit legalization.

Marijuana Legalization has Won (Nationally)

The writing is on the wall, and yet Delaware’s cop controlled legislature clings a ‘Reefer Madness’ mentality At this point, the question of nationwide marijuana legalization is more a matter of when, not if.

Filed in National by on June 17, 2019 9 Comments

It has been five years since Colorado legalized recreational marijuana sales. In that time, the state’s seen a rise in its revenues from taxes on cannabis, voted to use some of that tax money for public education and fighting opioid addiction, while also lowering highway vehicular fatalities. All around it’s been a big success. Colorado’s “experiment” […]

Lex Wilson at the News Journal tried to assess what it means for a […]

Open Thread March 1: Marijuana Task Force or Stoner Farce?

Filed in National by on March 1, 2018 43 Comments

You have to read Matt Bittle’s story about Wednesday’s marijuana task force meeting to believe it. Rep. Helene Keeley, who chaired the meeting, couldn’t have screwed it up any more if she had taken bong hits throughout. Here, I’ll let Matt do the honors: A vote to release the task force’s report was initially thought […]

Opponents Play Rope-A-Dope On Marijuana Legalization

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on November 2, 2017 7 Comments

Cutting red tape for business only extends to providing get-out-of-jail-free cards to serial polluters, not to assisting proponents of creating a new revenue source. Gee, who didn’t see this coming? From the linked News-Journal story: “We’re pleased more time will be allotted,” said Cathy Rossi, vice president of public and government affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. “The […]

What Would YOU Tell Gov. Carney at His Marijuana Symposium?

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on April 17, 2017 23 Comments

It looks at least possible that the Governor is willing to consider marijuana legalization.  Cynics might say that that’s b/c it’s just one more issue he hasn’t thought about.  Even if that’s true, though, it means he could be persuaded.  It’s  better than the ‘over my dead body’ line in the sand drawn by Jack […]
