WHEN DID CANNABIS BECOME LEGAL IN DELAWARE?

In a historic move, Delaware joined the ranks of states legalizing cannabis in April 2023. This significant milestone was achieved when Governor John Carney (D) allowed HB 1 and HB 2 to become law without his signature, positioning Delaware as the 22nd state in the nation to embrace this progressive change. The passage of these bills marked a pivotal shift in the state's approach to cannabis, reflecting evolving societal attitudes and a growing recognition of the benefits of legalization.

 

HB 1, a landmark bill, revolutionized the cannabis landscape in Delaware by legalizing the possession of up to one ounce of cannabis for adults aged 21 and older. This move not only aligned Delaware with the growing national trend towards cannabis liberalization but also represented a significant step towards reducing the burdens of criminalization on its residents. Meanwhile, HB 2 laid the foundation for a regulated and taxed cannabis market, setting the stage for a responsible and structured approach to cannabis sales in the state.

​

The successful passage of these bills can be attributed to the dedicated efforts of key legislators, particularly Representative Ed Osienski (D) and Senator Trey Paradee (D), who were instrumental in sponsoring and advocating for the legislation. Their roles were crucial in navigating the bills through the legislative process, culminating in supermajority votes in the legislature. This achievement reflects not only their commitment but also the broader support within the state government for a more progressive and pragmatic approach to cannabis policy.

 

The legalization of cannabis in Delaware is more than just a change in law; it represents a shift in societal norms and the beginning of a new era in the state's approach to cannabis regulation and use. As Delaware embarks on this new journey, it stands as a testament to the power of advocacy, legislative action, and the evolving understanding of cannabis in contemporary society.

WHAT ARE THE CANNABIS ADVERTISING RULES IN DELAWARE?

With the legalization of recreational cannabis in Delaware, understanding the state's advertising regulations is crucial for businesses looking to navigate this new market. As of now, specific advertising rules for recreational cannabis in Delaware are still being formulated, drawing from existing guidelines and anticipating future regulatory developments. It's essential for businesses to stay informed and adaptable, as these regulations are expected to evolve alongside the maturing market.

 

Currently, the framework for cannabis advertising in Delaware can be gleaned from existing regulations, which are likely to serve as a foundation for future guidelines. As seen in other states, there are common restrictions that Delaware may adopt, including prohibitions against advertising that is false, deceptive, or misleading; that promotes overconsumption; that depicts consumption; or that is designed to appeal to minors. Additionally, advertising near schools, playgrounds, child care providers, public parks, libraries, public transit vehicles and stations, and on publicly owned property is likely to be restricted.

 

Delaware's approach to cannabis advertising is expected to focus on responsible marketing practices, emphasizing the importance of honest, informative, and compliant advertising. This includes avoiding medical claims, steering clear of unsolicited internet pop-ups, and ensuring that promotions do not undermine state tax collections. The use of billboards for cannabis advertising might be subject to specific rules or outright prohibitions, as is common in other jurisdictions.

 

The Hood Collective emphasizes the importance of adhering to these guidelines as part of our best practices for cannabis businesses. Responsible marketing not only ensures compliance with state laws but also contributes to the positive and ethical promotion of the cannabis industry. As Delaware's cannabis market evolves, staying abreast of the latest advertising rules and regulations will be crucial for businesses looking to thrive in this exciting new landscape.
