Is Cannabis Delivery Legal in California?

Yes, licensed cannabis delivery is legal statewide in California.

Under California law, licensed dispensaries are allowed to deliver cannabis products directly to eligible adults, even in cities that may not permit storefront dispensaries. This means customers can legally order cannabis for delivery as long as the delivery is handled by a licensed retailer following state regulations.

To qualify for legal cannabis delivery in California, customers must be either 21 years of age or older with a valid government-issued ID, or 18 years of age or older with a valid medical cannabis recommendation.

All orders must be placed through a licensed dispensary, and age verification is required before delivery is completed.

How Cannabis Delivery Works (Step by Step)

If you’ve never ordered cannabis for delivery before, the process is straightforward and designed to be compliant and secure.

1. Browse Products & Build Your Order

Customers can browse Tropicanna’s live menu online, selecting from categories like flower, vapes, edibles, concentrates, drinks, and wellness products. For those who prefer a more guided experience, delivery orders can also be placed by phone with the help of a Tropicanna team member. Both online and phone orders follow the same verification and delivery process.

2. Add Items to Cart (Online)

Once you’ve chosen your products, add them to your cart and review quantities, pricing, and availability.

3. Complete Age & ID Verification

For delivery orders, customers upload:

  • A valid government-issued ID
  • A selfie holding that ID

This step ensures compliance with California state law before the order is dispatched.

4. Choose Delivery Timing

Orders are typically fulfilled within a set delivery window, and customers may also have the option to schedule a specific delivery timeframe depending on availability.

5. Receive Your Delivery

A licensed delivery driver completes the delivery in person. Customers must be present, show ID again at the door, and complete payment upon arrival.
