Delaware Gov. John Carney to hold roundtable with marijuana opponents June 1

Gov. John Carney will make good on last month's promise to hold a second roundtable on marijuana – only this time with opponents of legalization.

The event is now scheduled for June 1 at Delaware Technical Community College's George Campus in Wilmington, the same location as an April 19 roundtable the governor held with groups in support of legalizing the recreational use and sale of the drug.

"Next Thursday’s event will give him a chance to hear more from those who believe Delaware should not legalize marijuana for recreational purposes," spokesman Jon Starkey said. "He looks forward to the discussion."

Panelists invited to discuss their concerns include officials from AAA Mid-Atlantic; the Delaware Police Chiefs' Association; the Medical Society of Delaware; and atTAcK Addiction, a nonprofit largely made up of people whose family members have suffered from opiate abuse.
