For a decade, Democrats have been trying to legalize recreational marijuana in Delaware, only to be blocked by members of their own party – namely Gov. John Carney. Efforts reached a climax last year when a legalization bill passed both chambers but was then vetoed by Carney, who is staunchly against it.
