Sweet Sixteen: Delaware Governor Signs Medical Marijuana Bill Into Law May 13th, 2011 By: Erik Altieri, NORML Communications Coordinator\t Earlier this morning Delaware Governor Jack Markell signed legislation to make the “First State†the sixteenth to approve the physician supervised use of medical marijuana. This measure will allow qualifying patients to possess up to 6 ounces of usable marijuana acquired from any of three state-supervised distribution centers. Qualifying conditions for the program include cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease and post-traumatic stress disorder. Full text of the bill can be read here. NORML would like to thank all of the activists who contacted their State Senators and Representatives in support of this important legislation. The law must now undergo a one year regulatory and licensing process before the state's three dispensaries begin operation. We will be sure to keep you posted on Delaware's medical marijuana program as it develops.
