Delaware becomes 22nd state to legalize recreational marijuana

Delaware on Sunday became the 22nd state to legalize marijuana after Gov. John Carney (D) let a bill clearing the path for recreational use of the drug become law without his signature. Carney announced Friday he would not veto two bills legalizing pot use for people age 21 or older, although he said he still opposed the change because he thought it was "not a step forward." He said he decided not to veto the bills because "we've spent far too much time focused on this issue, when Delawareans face more serious and pressing concerns every day. It's time to move on." The state hasn't established legal dispensaries yet, but one of the bills creates regulations and licensing rules for growing and selling marijuana.
