How Cannabis Delivery Works in California
California was one of the first states to allow cannabis delivery and has one of the most mature delivery markets. Licensed delivery services can operate from a licensed dispensary or as standalone delivery-only businesses.
Importantly, California law allows delivery to any physical address in the state — even in cities and counties that have banned local cannabis businesses. This means residents in areas without dispensaries can still access legal cannabis through delivery.
Ordering for Delivery
Most California dispensaries offer delivery through their own websites or through platforms like Dutchie, Weedmaps, or Eaze. The process is similar to food delivery: browse the menu, add items to your cart, enter your address, and place your order. Delivery times typically range from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
