Delaware to Start Recreational Marijuana Sales August 1

News summary

Delaware will begin legal recreational marijuana sales on August 1, 2025, more than two years after passing legalization legislation. Initial sales will take place at existing medical marijuana dispensaries for adults 21 and older, with more dispensaries expected to open later. The launch follows delays caused by regulatory and FBI background check issues. Local governments have the authority to ban marijuana businesses, resulting in significant zoning and buffer restrictions in some regions, notably Sussex County. State officials emphasize the market's focus on equity, safety, and revenue generation for public services and communities affected by the war on drugs. The opening of the market is viewed as a milestone for entrepreneurship and equitable economic development across Delaware.
