Delaware is The 16th State to Legalize Medicinal Marijuana

Delaware is the 16th state to legalize medicinal marijuana. On Friday Delaware became the 16th state to legalize marijuana for medical use after the governor signed the bill into law. The law allows the patient who certify that they have a serious medical condition like cancer to have up to 6 ounces or 170 grams of marijuana.

State-licensed centers will be allowed to grow the marijuana and dispense it to people 18 years and older. Democratic governor Jack Markell signed the bill in private without a ceremony. The state senate passed the bill on Wednesday by a 17-4 vote. California was the first state to legalize marijuana for medical conditions in 1996.
