Cannabis Laws in Delaware

Is weed legal in Delaware? Yes — recreational and medical cannabis are both legal here for adults 21+.

Delaware legalized adult use in 2023, and licensed adult-use retail sales began August 1, 2025, initially through converted medical compassion centers. Adults 21+ may possess up to one ounce of leaf marijuana, 12 g of concentrate or products containing up to 750 mg delta-9 THC. Home cultivation is not permitted. The medical cannabis law was enacted in 2011.

Federally, cannabis is still a controlled substance nationwide — but that status is in flux. See where rescheduling stands →
