Summary
On October 16, 2025, Delaware's Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement (DATE) warned the public about a fraudulent marijuana operation aimed at University of Delaware students and Newark residents. According to the state's release, counterfeit business cards and flyers were circulating in Newark that falsely claimed to represent Fresh Delaware, a legitimate licensed marijuana business, and offered delivery of recreational marijuana. DATE stressed that no licensed recreational dispensary in Delaware may deliver marijuana, so any business offering such delivery is operating illegally; delivery is permitted only to qualified medical patients. The agency warned that products sold through illegal channels may contain contaminants such as mold, pesticides or heavy metals, said its Marijuana Enforcement Unit was investigating, and asked anyone with information to contact it. Fresh Delaware itself is the victim of the impersonation, not the subject of the warning.
