Advocates for adult-use marijuana in Delaware are speaking out against the strict zoning regulations that are hindering the opening of retail stores in the state. Patchell, along with other advocates, are calling for the state to intervene and push for a faster opening of the recreational marijuana industry. There is frustration over the special treatment given to medical cannabis operators, who may be able to start selling recreational pot before new legal businesses are allowed to operate. The delay in opening retail facilities is causing concerns for social equity applicants who have invested money in the industry but are unable to see any returns. The pressure is on lawmakers and Governor Meyer to address these issues and speed up the process of opening adult-use cannabis businesses. The Delaware Cannabis Industry Association and The Farm CEO are urging the governor to take action and ensure that the industry can start generating revenue promptly. Governor Meyer’s spokesperson acknowledges the urgency of hiring a new commissioner to oversee the marijuana industry and stresses the importance of getting the regulations right for both businesses and communities impacted by the war on drugs.
