On June 15th, 2021, Delaware became the latest state to legalize recreational cannabis, joining 14 other states and the District of Columbia. Meanwhile, Minnesota is considering becoming the 23rd state to legalize recreational cannabis.<\/p>\n<p>Delaware&#8217;s new law allows adults over the age of 21 to possess up to one ounce of cannabis for personal use. It also allows individuals to grow up to six plants for personal use. The law also includes provisions for expunging past cannabis-related convictions and creating a regulatory framework for the sale and taxation of cannabis.<\/p>\n<p>The legalization of recreational cannabis in Delaware is expected to generate significant revenue for the state. According to a report by the Delaware Economic and Financial Advisory Council, legalizing cannabis could generate up to $43 million in annual tax revenue for the state.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota is also considering legalizing recreational cannabis. In May 2021, the Minnesota House of Representatives passed a bill that would legalize recreational cannabis for adults over the age of 21. The bill now moves to the Minnesota Senate, where it faces an uncertain future.<\/p>\n<p>If Minnesota were to legalize recreational cannabis, it would join a growing number of states that have done so in recent years. In addition to Delaware, other states that have legalized recreational cannabis include Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington.<\/p>\n<p>The legalization of recreational cannabis has been a controversial issue in the United States. Supporters argue that it can generate significant tax revenue for states and reduce the number of people incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses. Opponents argue that it can lead to increased drug use and addiction.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the controversy surrounding the issue, it is clear that the legalization of recreational cannabis is becoming more common in the United States. As more states legalize cannabis, it will be interesting to see how this affects the national conversation around drug policy and criminal justice reform.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"plato-post-bottom-links\">\n<li class=\"plato-post-bottom-link-amplifi\">SEO Powered Content &amp; PR Distribution. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amplifipr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get Amplified Today.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plato-post-bottom-link-platoblockchain\">PlatoAiStream.
