| | Measure would legalize medical pot in DE By: Frank Gerace A bill now in the state Senate would legalize marijuana for medical uses. Wilmington Democrat Margaret Rose Henry says her bill, which would make marijuana available to patients with a doctor's prescription, addresses a quality-of-life issue. Henry says marijuana would be dispensed at "compassion care centers" that would be staffed by workers who've undergone criminal background checks. Patients would be limited to 6 ounces of marijuana a month, and would have to show ID to get it. 1150AM WDEL • WDEL.com • Dependable News, Delaware's Views Woohoo! 1 step closer to legalization!

We'd buy a QP back in the day and it'd last a season. And that was leaving it in the living room next to a bong and a bowl and 4 roommates. | | The Following 5 Users Say Thank You to Kid Lester For This Useful Post: | | Re: Legal Medical Pot in DE

| | | Hey, man, we're out of papers.
All right. Then get me a toilet paper roll, a corkscrew and some tin foil.
We don't have a corkscrew.
All right. Then get me an avocado, an ice pick and my snorkel.

| | | I know someone who is a cancer patient living in Delaware who has medical marijuana to help with her chemo. She gets it from Happy Harry's using a prescription written by her oncologist.
So.... how is it not currently legal if people are using it via medical orders and pharmacy's are filling those orders? | | The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to hockey For This Useful Post: | | Re: Legal Medical Pot in DE

So.... how is it not currently legal if people are using it via medical orders and pharmacy's are filling those orders? It may also be the difference between pharmaceutical distribution and distribution through non-pharmaceutical centers. | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to witchofthedogs For This Useful Post: | | Re: Legal Medical Pot in DE

So.... how is it not currently legal if people are using it via medical orders and pharmacy's are filling those orders? It's all hush-hush, but it's there. Just gotta know who to ask, I guess.
I think it's pretty much understood that the current administration and current Justice Department aren't going to throw the hammer down on states making these decisions. And in 4 to 8 years, it'll be de facto legal most places if not written into federal law. And at that point, what do you do? Starting sicking the Feds on them, then? | | The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to Kid Lester For This Useful Post: | | Re: Legal Medical Pot in DE

| | I know she said that her Happy Harry's had a "special safe" that they kept it in. She also had to sign her life away to get it. Sad part is... I don't think it actually helped with her nausea from the chemo. Perhaps it helped in other aspects though  . | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to hockey For This Useful Post: | | Re: Legal Medical Pot in DE

I worked at Happy Harry's years ago and the pharmacy did have that "special safe" for all those special narcotic meds.. I remember seeing a pharmacy tech being walked out in cuffs because she actually took and gave out some of those "special meds" and got caught.... | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to SCRAPPY For This Useful Post: | | Re: Legal Medical Pot in DE

It would b like alcohol. As long as you don't come to work drunk or high, you're fine. Actually better for pot. No hangover the next morning. | | The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to Delguy92 For This Useful Post: | | Re: Legal Medical Pot in DE
