Cannabis delivery could soon be made available in cities that have banned it.

Prop 64 revisions are being considered by the Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC), but not everybody is happy at the prospect of weed delivery being permitted in U.S. states where storefront sale services have been forbidden.

While advocates of the plant may be all for the idea, certain cities are concerned that amendments to Prop 64’s cannabis delivery rules could potentially compromise local control and encourage criminal activity.

Cannabis advocates are concerned about public health

With cannabis now having been fully legalized in the State of California, pro-pot activists believe that residential consumers should be able to get their hands on lab-tested bud, as opposed to buying it from the black market.

It’s not as if cannabis delivery doesn’t already exist, anyway. Many of them are operating within the grey market and in most cases, customers tend to think that they are procuring their pot from legal sources. However, so long as cannabis delivery remains illegal in states that have banned it, consumers should know that what they are buying is not, in fact, from an above-board source.

On August 13, 2018, a letter was delivered to the Bureau by the League of California Cities demanding licit cannabis delivery services. The league stressed how they were unable to regulate cannabis due to lack of delivery services, which is essentially forcing many vulnerable consumers to the sometimes dangerous black market.

Outlined in the letter were these facts and the group concluded in saying that the Bureau is abusing its authoritative position.

The revised proposal would permit “cannabis delivery anywhere in the state, regardless of conflicting local regulations or bans.” This statement was written by the group in the letter, which was composed on July 27, 2018.

Various other rule changes were touched upon in the letter, including the acceleration of the instructed time for cities to validate local cannabis delivery licenses, claiming that the timespan during which those licenses are being verified is threatening public safety.

Prop 64 revisions would be beneficial for consumers and the economy

The perks of cannabis delivery services are quite clear. Not only do these services prevent people under the influence of THC-rich weed from taking to the open roads in search of a stash top-up but also, cannabis delivery services provide both convenience and privacy for the consumer.

Homebound medical cannabis patients heavily rely on medical cannabis delivery and since state-run cannabis dispensaries are regulated, consumers can feel confident that what they are buying has been tested for potency, purity, and quality in a secure laboratory environment; something that’s almost impossible to determine when buying weed from dealers on the streets.

If the BCC clarifies Prop 64 to permit cannabis delivery in cities that have banned it, consumers can benefit from more variety, better timing, and improved consistency, while the U.S. economy can welcome a surge of cannabis taxes.

The BCC did not respond when an interview on the subject was requested.
