Marijuana delivery, the next step in the acceptance of legal marijuana use in the state of Colorado, is now a possibility.
There is currently a bill before the Colorado State Legislature known as House Bill 1092 that would establish an 18-month pilot project allowing delivery of both recreational and medicinal marijuana throughout the state. State Rep. Jonathan Singer and many other legislators are pushing for this, citing the current availability of liquor, as well as prescription drug home delivery.
Rather than continue to watch as cannabis delivery services pop up all over the black market, many lawmakers and citizens feel that the safest alternative is the full legalization of home delivery.
Currently, Craigslist is an easy way for black market delivery services to move their product efficiently and discretely, exchanging marijuana for “donations.” Many delivery services are easy to find and conduct most of their business via text messaging and exchange of goods for donations at random delivery points.
Singer is firmly in support of home delivery legalization, citing an already thriving black market system that does nothing to benefit the state of Colorado, but only serves to line the pockets of illegal businesses that are currently thriving.
Singer remains focused on taking home delivery of marijuana out of the shadows and imposing a legal and well-regulated system for the state of Colorado.
At this point, Oregon, California and Nevada all have some type of laws for legal home delivery of medical and recreational cannabis set in place. Many legislators in the state of Colorado would like to see the same thing happen, citing that it is the next logical step in the healthy and safe growth of the marijuana industry in Colorado.
The same bill, then called SB 192 was introduced last year in the Colorado state legislature but failed to pass.
