Medical Marijuana
16 Del. C. § 4903A — a registered patient may have up to 6 ounces, and status alone is no ground to fire or evict
A registered qualifying patient is not subject to arrest, prosecution or the loss of any right or privilege for the medical use of marijuana under the act, while possessing no more than 6 ounces of usable marijuana. A registered caregiver has the same protection, up to 6 ounces for each patient.
- No school or landlord may refuse or penalize a person solely for being a registered patient or caregiver, unless federal law would cost it a benefit.
- An employer may not discriminate because a person is a cardholder, or because a patient tests positive, unless the patient used, possessed or was impaired at work or during work hours.
- For medical care, including transplants, authorized use counts like any other prescribed medication.
Adults also have the separate personal use rules. A particular case is a question for a licensed Delaware attorney.
