Delaware

A Delaware court has rejected an injured employee’s request for his former employee to compensate him for medical cannabis expenses related to his injury.

Delaware officials are working on emergency rules to allow delivery services from the state’s medical cannabis dispensaries.

A new law in Delaware will let physicians certify patients for medical cannabis even if they don’t have one of the state program’s qualifying conditions — patients thusly approved, however, must have a severe and debilitating condition and all standard care practices must be exhausted.

A cannabis legalization bill has advanced from the Delaware House Revenue and Finance Committee into the full chamber for consideration. A similar bill failed last year by just four votes — Gov. John Carney, however, has already voiced his opposition to legalizing.

Recently introduced legislation to legalize adult-use cannabis in Delaware contains much of the same language as the state’s failed attempt from last year — this time, however, the proposal lacks home-grow provisions, which may make it easier to accept for certain lawmakers.
