Cannabis Delivery in New Jersey
Get legal cannabis delivered to your door — the complete guide to ordering delivery in the Garden State
New Jersey's cannabis delivery market is growing fast. Recreational delivery launched in 2023, and now licensed dispensaries and Class 6 delivery services can bring cannabis to your door anywhere in the state — even in the 70% of towns that banned dispensaries. Better yet: NJ allows delivery to hotels and rentals, making it one of the most tourist-friendly states for cannabis. This guide covers everything you need to know.
Quick Facts
How Delivery Works in New Jersey
New Jersey has two types of cannabis delivery: dispensaries with delivery endorsements and licensed Class 6 Delivery Services. Both can deliver statewide, even to towns that banned dispensaries. Here's what you need to know:
Dispensary Delivery
Most CommonMany NJ dispensaries offer their own delivery service. Order from their website, schedule a window, and they'll deliver to your door. Options include URB'N Dispensary, Shore House Canna, High Rollers, and many more.
Class 6 Delivery Services
Licensed Delivery OperatorsStandalone delivery services like Weedies and DirectLeaf are licensed by the NJ-CRC to deliver cannabis statewide. They partner with multiple dispensaries, offering more product variety.

How to Order Delivery
Ordering cannabis delivery in New Jersey is straightforward. Unlike some states, you CAN get delivery to hotels and short-term rentals. Here's the process:
Find a Delivery Service
Visit a dispensary website, use Weedmaps/Leafly, or go to a Class 6 delivery service like Weedies. Enter your address to confirm they deliver to your location. Note: Not all dispensaries deliver to all areas — check coverage.
Create Account & Browse Menu
Create an account with your info. Browse flower, edibles, concentrates, vapes, and more. NJ limits are 1 oz per transaction (or equivalent: 4g concentrate, 1000mg edibles).
Place Order & Select Window
Add items to cart and checkout. Select a delivery window — NJ delivery is typically scheduled 1-3 hours out, not instant like food delivery. Plan ahead.
Prepare Payment & ID
Payment varies by service — some accept cards, many are cash-only. Have your government ID ready. Budget ~7-9% for taxes on recreational purchases (much lower than most states).
Receive Your Delivery
When the driver arrives, show your ID. Only the person who placed the order can accept — no proxies. Products arrive in a locked container per NJ law. Check your order before the driver leaves.
