As your constituent, I urge you to support HB 371 and HB 372 to legalize and regulate cannabis for adults 21 and older. By legalizing cannabis and establishing a regulated market for adults 21 and older, Delaware can further reduce the number of marijuana-related arrests and citations, create a new source of revenue and good jobs for the state, and boost public health and public safety. New Jersey and 17 other states have moved forward with adult-use legalization. Delaware must meet the moment and follow suit. Will you vote YES on HB 371 and 372?

More than 70% of Delawareans support legalizing cannabis. Eighteen other states and Canada have taken this more sensible approach. I hope you agree it’s past time for Delaware to follow suit. Cannabis is safer than alcohol – it doesn’t cause fatal overdoses and isn’t linked to violence. Our government should not be punishing adults for using cannabis responsibly, nor should it be driving sales to the unregulated, underground market. Can I count on you to vote “yes” on HB 371 and HB 372 to legalize, tax, and regulate cannabis for adults 21 and older?
