Sen. Bryant Richardson has asked Gov. John Carney to veto bills dealing with the legalization of marijuana.
“The dangers associated with legalization of recreational marijuana were ignored by those who voted for the bills,” the Laurel lawmaker said in an open letter he released Friday. “But the dangers are real.”
House Bill 1 and House Bill 2 would legalize recreational marijuana in Delaware and set up a department and tax structure for an industry that would legally grow and sell cannabis. The structure is similar to that used for taxing alcohol.
Carney’s office did not immediately respond to requests for a comment.
