Connecticut residents will eventually be able to get cannabis delivered to their homes under the state’s new recreational-use law.
Delivery will initially happen through retailers once stores open, which is expected to happen later this year, and then eventually from stand-alone delivery services.
Cities and towns, which can set their own marijuana rules, including prohibiting retailers and manufacturers from operating within their borders, cannot ban delivery.
At least 12 states that have legalized recreational cannabis allow for home-delivered marijuana in some form, including two of Connecticut’s neighbors — Massachusetts and New York. Operations in Massachusetts began last July. New York, like Connecticut, doesn’t have any retail shops open yet.
Connecticut’s licensing program creates two kinds of companies: Delivery services, which bring orders from cannabis establishments directly to consumers, qualifying medical marijuana patients and caregivers, and transporters, which transport cannabis between businesses, laboratories and research programs.
Delivery to consumers can come from either a retailer, hybrid retailer, or micro-cultivator. For patients or caregivers, orders must come from a hybrid retailer or dispensary facility. Licensed delivery services cannot sell cannabis directly to a patient, caregiver or consumer. [Read More @ CT Insider]
