Delaware Gov. John Carney announced Tuesday that he would veto the state Legislature's historic passage of a bill fully decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana.
Minor marijuana possession has been partly decriminalized in the state since 2015, when the state legislature made possession a civil infraction with a $100 fine. House Bill 371 would go further by removing "all penalties for possession of 1 ounce or less of marijuana, except for those who are under 21 years of age," as well as eliminating penalties for people over 21 who transfer one ounce or less of marijuana "without remuneration."
