About Us

The Office of the Marijuana Commissioner (OMC) is the agency responsible for regulating the recreational marijuana industry in Delaware, pursuant to the Delaware Marijuana Control Act, which became effective on July 5, 2023.

The OMC is focused on safeguarding public health, deterring underage usage, and generating tax revenue. Furthermore, the OMC strives to promote an equitable and competitive marijuana market that places consumer welfare and public safety at the forefront, with the goal of eliminating the illegal marijuana market.

To accomplish these objectives, the OMC is responsible for establishing comprehensive rules and guidelines, establishing the licensing process, and addressing complaints to ensure effective regulation of marijuana cultivation, manufacturing, and the sale of marijuana and its derivatives within the State.
