Marijuana legalization effort defeated in Delaware House [View all]
Hopes for the bill went up in smoke as it fell four votes short of passage.
House Bill 110, which sponsor Rep. Helene Keeley said would have established the framework and commission to tax, regulate and distribute cannabis legally in Delaware, was defeated in a June 27 vote in the House.

The bill required a 3/5 majority, or 25 votes for passage.
