Message From Libertarian Party of Delaware Concerning Cannabis and Hemp: Libertarian Party of Delaware passes TWO pro-cannabis resolutions at the 2014 State Convention. Text of both below (please share): Whereas, the possession and recreational use of both Cannabis sativa and its various cousins is now illegal in the United States with the current exceptions of the states of Colorado and Washington, and Whereas the federal government has decided to allow both states to police use under their more permissive laws without federal intervention, and Whereas the growing of hemp, a cannabis cousin, has been prohibited since the 1930s with some exceptions during World War II, even though it has many beneficial uses such as clothing, paper, food stuffs, and oil, as well as enhancing soil where it is planted, and Whereas the Colorado experience since January 1, 2014, has proved overwhelmingly positive, with its excise taxes collected at the time of sale far exceeding expectations and such funds earmarked both for capital construction of school facilities and other general fund purposes, and Whereas, the State of Delaware has begun to look for new sources of revenue in this uncertain economy, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF DELAWARE, that the General Assembly should move, with all due speed, to re-legalize the possession and use of both Cannabis sativa and its cousins, along the lines of Proposition 64 in Colorado, and let Delaware experience the same revenue bonuses as have been shown in Colorado, and Be it further RESOLVED, that the agricultural use of the non-psychoactive cousins of Cannabis sativa, should be permitted in the state without further delay to allow farmers more crop options. And the second, on cannabis-related businesses: Whereas, the State of Colorado has legalized possession and recreational use of Cannabis sativa in their state, has applied an excise tax to its sale, and has already seen major revenue influx since sales first began on January 1, 2014, and Whereas, the State of Delaware is a state known for its being a favorable climate for chartering and registering corporations, and, as such, derives a healthy portion of its income from such transactions, and THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF DELAWARE, that once the General Assembly votes to re-legalize such possession and recreational use of Cannabis sativa that it should also make such changes to corporate law to permit such businesses which deal with Cannabis sativa to make a home in Delaware. and Be it further RESOLVED, that the State should advertise such a change in statutes to welcome such new corporations. ONLY the Libertarian Party of Delaware has come out as a party to support cannabis legalization. Please consider seeking out and supporting Libertarian candidates this year.
