DOVER, Del.- Delaware lawmakers are once again taking aim at the controversial issue of legalizing recreational marijuana in the state.
House Bill 1 is set to be voted on tomorrow in the House of Representatives, but last year’s efforts to legalize marijuana fell short, with Gov. John Carney’s opposition being a major obstacle.
However, many Dover neighbors are more than ready to legalize the drug.
Verna Uptigrow of Dover argues that marijuana has actually “never been a drug,” as it grows from the ground and helps with pain and anxiety she said.
Been hard at work smoking weed here since 1974, a lot of it on break time out in a bar’s parking lot, never once did we get police contact. What gets me is that the usual greed of Delaware’s politicians seems to have taken a break on this revenue source, suspect that will triumph once New Jersey starts raking in the bucks. Not connected in any way to state government, know people who are, they say retired cops of all flavors are trying to cash in on legalization. Won’t that be pretty?
-“never been a drug,” as it grows from the ground-
Good for my morning chuckle.
Right. Poppy, anyone?
Big difference between what grows and what’s refined from it. Coca leaves are a mild stimulant.
Khat’s the stuff I heard
Also peyote and salvia fit.
Here’s one I didn’t know about until today: A psychotropic fish.

I got my chuckle from “Verna Uptigrow” – sounds like a hippy-dippy Batman supervillain.
HB 1 roll call.

Schwartzkopf, the only Dem voting no.
I am feeling like Charlie Brown right before Lucy snatches the football:(
