Marijuana Business Magazine - February 2018

Delaware The state is making progress toward legalizing rec- reational marijuana through legislation, according to a leading cannabis advocate. The Adult Use Cannabis Task Force, formed after a July 2017 resolution by the General Assembly, has met regularly to study rec legalization. “Progress is definitely being made, and we are one step closer to legalization,” said Zoe Patchell, president of the Delaware Cannabis Advocacy Network. She has attended all the panel’s meetings. The task force is mandated to release a detailed report by Aug. 18. Florida It appears that efforts to legalize recreational canna- bis will have to wait until at least 2020. Two campaigns gathering the 766,000 voter signatures needed to place initiatives on the November 2018 ballot said they won’t make that threshold. That means there likely won’t be a rec ballot measure for voters to consider this year. The deadline for the two campaigns to submit their petitions is Feb. 1. But as of early January, the two groups – Regu- late Florida and Floridians for Freedom – had collected only about 40,000 signatures and 30,000 signatures, respectively.
