How To Work At A Dispensary In Delaware

Cannabis Job Market Overview:

Delaware became the 22nd state to legalize adult-use cannabis, on April 23, 2023. The bills that were passed, did so without the signature of the Governor, Gov. John Carney, who said in his statement that he continues to believe that legalizing weed is "not a step forward"

Delaware Gov. Jack Markell signed legislation legalizing the medical cannabis market in May 2011, though its first medical dispensary didn't open until June 2015. Data intelligence firms BDS Analytics and Arcview Market Research predict that Delaware's medical market will reach $32 million by 2024, and $71 million if adult-use were to pass.

Cannabis Job Requirements & Application Process:

The State of Delaware is still working on building out their recreational cannabis industry, with regulations still being published. Dispensaries in Delaware are expected to open in 2024.
