Can You Legally Have Marijuana Delivered In New York State?
Can consumers get their cannabis delivered? The first legal adult-use marijuana stores have finally opened in New York State. For someone who has already consumed cannabis, delivery options are important, since it is illegal to drive while high.
When I think about weed delivery, I think of the movie Half Baked. That was a classic. If you've never seen it and you consume pot, you've been missing out for years.
