Delaware Cannabis Advocacy Network is an all-volunteer, citizen-led, grassroots advocacy group that has been lobbying since 2013 to remove all criminal penalties for cannabis possession, initiate criminal justice reforms for those adversely affected by cannabis prohibition, and replace the current and dangerous illicit cannabis market with a safe, legal, and well-regulated industry. We sponsor org

anizations such as the Cannabis Bureau of Delaware, a grassroots citizens advocacy group dedicated to advancing education, research, and science-based policy for cannabis and cannabinoids on a local, state, and federal level. We advocate to protect human rights, patients’ rights, and this renewable, all-natural resource for medicinal, recreational, and industrial purposes. We encourage all citizens to educate themselves on the issues related to cannabis prohibition and the social and economic benefits of sensible policy reform and get involved with citizens' advocacy groups and other organizations that support the responsible use of cannabis by adults. Delaware Cannabis Advocacy Network (Delaware CAN) is a non-profit organization and all contributions to Delaware CAN will be utilized to support individuals, organizations, and activities consistent with our mission.
