Overview
Utah approved medical cannabis through Proposition 2 in November 2018, making it one of the more conservative states to embrace medical marijuana. The program officially launched in March 2020 with the opening of the first medical cannabis pharmacy.
As of January 2026, Utah operates 17 licensed medical cannabis pharmacies across the state, regulated by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF). The state has over 100,000 registered patients with active medical cannabis cards.
Utah's program is pharmacy-based, meaning cannabis is dispensed by licensed pharmacists in clinical settings rather than traditional dispensaries. Products available include tablets, capsules, tinctures, topicals, concentrates, gelatinous cubes, and unprocessed flower in sealed containers.
Home delivery became available in January 2021 and has grown significantly, with over 715,000 delivery orders in 2023 alone. This makes Utah one of the most delivery-friendly medical cannabis states despite its conservative reputation.
Monthly sales exceed $10-12 million, with annual revenue projected at $200 million for 2026. Vape cartridges are the most popular product category (48% of sales), followed by flower (33%) and edibles (18%).
Recreational cannabis remains illegal in Utah. The state borders Arizona (recreational), Colorado (recreational), Nevada (recreational), and New Mexico (recreational), but transporting cannabis across state lines is federally illegal.

How Access & Delivery Work

How delivery works:
- Must be a registered medical cannabis cardholder
- Order through your pharmacy's website or app

Delivery has become extremely popular in Utah, with over 715,000 orders delivered in 2023 - nearly 9 times the number from 2021. This growth reflects Utah patients' preference for convenience and privacy.
For rural patients far from pharmacies, delivery provides essential access. Some pharmacies focus heavily on delivery to serve patients across the state's vast geography.
