Bill > HB371

This bill amends Title 16 of the Delaware Code to decriminalize the possession of marijuana for personal use by individuals 21 years of age or older. Specifically, it modifies the definition of "personal use quantity" to mean one ounce or less of a controlled substance classified under a specific section of the law, and clarifies that an individual dwelling is not considered a "public place." The bill removes penalties for adults possessing, using, or consuming marijuana in a personal use quantity, though consuming it in a public place will still result in a civil penalty of $100.00. This change aims to exempt those who possess marijuana for their own personal use and consumption from prosecution, aligning with the government's stated purpose.
