More than two years after legalizing recreational marijuana, Delaware dispensaries began sales Friday.

Six businesses that were involved in medical sales were able to begin their recreational sales at a total of 12 locations, Gov. Matt Meyer's office said. Other locations were set to open but were delayed due to local zoning.

Purchases and consumption are limited to adults 21 and older. You don't have to be a state resident, but no consumption is allowed in public.

"I'm no longer a criminal," Weist said. "I've been dreaming of this since I was in high school. I was an advocate back then, 40 years ago, so you can imagine what this means to me."
