Committee Members

The Joint Legislative Oversight and Sunset Committee (JLOSC) conducted a review of the  Medical Marijuana Act Oversight Committee (MMAOC) in 2021 and 2022 and found that the MMAOC did not meeting the public need and rarely acted on received public comment.

A new stakeholder group was created and is made up of Delaware-registered patients and caregivers.  Delaware-registered compassion center and safety compliance facility representatives.  Delaware-licensed medical providers, and Office of Medical Marijuana staff will provide insight into issues related to the production and sale of medical marijuana products in Delaware and will work to increase patient satisfaction.  

The Office of Medical Marijuana stakeholder group meets quarterly and shall operate in an advisory capacity for the purpose of discussing and addressing issues and possible solutions related to the Medical Marijuana Program in Delaware.
