Delaware issued its last round of recreational marijuana business licenses to hopeful applicants in December, but those license holders haven’t begun dispensing recreational cannabis just yet.April 1st – a month later than the initial target – has been circulated as the new date to have the First State’s recreational marijuana market up and running, but delays in federal background checks have put that timeline into question.
