Massachusetts • DELIVERY GUIDE
Get legal cannabis delivered to your door — the complete guide to ordering delivery in the Bay State
Massachusetts legalized recreational cannabis in 2016, but delivery didn't launch until 2020 — and it's still not available everywhere. Cities and towns must opt in, and you'll need to pre-register with a dispensary before placing your first order. The good news: delivery is growing fast in Greater Boston and beyond, with many Social Equity-certified operators leading the way. This guide covers everything you need to know.
Massachusetts has three types of delivery licenses: Couriers (deliver for dispensaries), Delivery Operators (buy wholesale and deliver direct), and Dispensaries with Delivery Endorsements. Many are Social Equity-certified businesses. Here's what you need to know:
These licensed operators buy cannabis wholesale and deliver directly to you. Popular options include Rolling Releaf, Zyp Run, and Doobie. Many offer free delivery, real-time tracking, and scheduled time slots. Social Equity-certified operators are common.
Some dispensaries have delivery endorsements allowing them to deliver directly. Others partner with licensed couriers. Check if your preferred dispensary offers delivery or uses a courier service.
Browse menus from multiple Massachusetts delivery services and dispensaries. Filter by "delivery" and enter your address to see who serves your area. Great for comparing prices and finding deals.
Medical patients with a valid MA cannabis card can order delivery from Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers. Medical purchases are completely TAX FREE — no excise, sales, or local tax.
Massachusetts requires you to pre-register with a delivery service before placing your first order. Here's the process:
Not all Massachusetts cities and towns allow cannabis delivery. Use the Cannabis Control Commission's Municipality Tracker to check if your area permits delivery. Boston, Cambridge, and most Greater Boston cities allow it.
Visit a delivery operator's website (Rolling Releaf, Zyp Run, Doobie, etc.) or use Weedmaps/Leafly. Create an account with your name, address, and contact info. You'll verify your ID when the driver arrives.
Shop flower, edibles, concentrates, vapes, and more. Massachusetts has strict daily limits: 1 oz flower, 5g concentrate, or 500mg THC in edibles. These limits are cumulative across all purchases.
Choose same-day delivery or schedule a specific time slot. Payment options vary — most accept cash, many accept debit. Budget 17-20% for taxes on recreational purchases.
When the driver arrives, show your government-issued photo ID. You must be the person who placed the order — no proxies. Some drivers may wear body cameras per local regulations.

What is a Social Equity delivery operator?
Social Equity operators are businesses owned by people from communities disproportionately impacted by cannabis prohibition. Massachusetts prioritized these licenses for delivery. Many top-rated services are SE-certified.
