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.

Everywhere except Delaware because officials are arbitrarily limiting the market and handed control of our market to a few companies. The lack of competition has allowed these companies to continue over charging patients and consumers. Delaware’s market will never succeed under the current model.

A new analysis from Whitney Economics and GCNC argues that cannabis price compression is not a market failure, but a predictable phase of legalization that regulators and operators repeatedly underestimate.

“Cameron Gilbert, chairman of the Delaware Health Alternatives Association, said while there are bad actors in any industry, the majority of stores in the state are responsible small businesses that welcome regulation.
“All of our stores, especially within the Delaware Healthy Alternatives Association, are doing everything by the book,” he said. “We’ve been self-regulating for the past however-many years without any real guidance from anybody. We’ve provided the lab testing. We’ve got third-party lab testing. We’ve got age restrictions.”

Amit Vyas, a Dover attorney, said Chukwuocha’s bill would benefit just a handful of ma*****na operators.
“This legislation is being engineered to eliminate lawful competition and hand market control to a small handful of preferred operators,” he said. “That is not health policy, that is not consumer protection, that is legislated monopoly dressed up in public health language and rushed through this committee. Every small business owner in Delaware who built something lawful under existing law deserves better than this.”

Federal law redefining how THC levels are measured could make most intoxicating h**p products illegal starting in November.

🚨HB 395 is a prohibition bill. It classifies h**p as ma*****na and makes it a class G felony to operate a business that sells anything considered ma*****na, even if it’s actually h**p, without giving any legacy h**p businesses a pathway to operate legally. It also recriminalizes transporting any amount of cannabis in your vehicle if it’s not in a dispensary package.

Contact your Representative and tell them to vote NO on HB 395.

HB 395 is in the House Health and Human Development Committee today at 11:30 AM.
