Even other legal states like Colorado and California, which have started regulating pot deliveries, continue to see black-market companies continue eating up a large portion of those markets, Seeger said. Illinois lawmakers were discussing the potential for licensing pot delivery services as recently as the fall veto session, according to State Rep. Kelly Cassidy, a Chicago Democrat who led the legalization push.
If the state legalizes delivery services, some who are currently working in the illegal trade said they might eventually seek to get licensed. One driver for a well-established weed delivery service in Chicago told the Sun-Times he has been a mobile marijuana merchant for more than two years, selling a range of cannabis products to customers who summon him by texting an automated number set up by his service.
During a six-hour shift, he said he can make anywhere between 10 and 25 deliveries. In addition to working for the delivery service, he supplies his own separate clientele with a variety of weed products, including his own line of edibles.
Recently, he even started selling the THC-laden treats to another delivery service that recently launched. Know about breaking news as it happens.

And while most provinces have attractive, reasonably well-stocked online cannabis sales sites, very few consumers seems to want to use them.
They may have consumed it when they were in high school, but that was many years ago. Online shopping is convenient, but leaves a permanent trail of data in multiple places. In-person shopping can be done anonymously, with cash. Credit card data on cannabis purchases is stored on servers in the United States, where it is available to federal agencies without the need for a warrant.
Under U. There are few known examples of Canadians being banned for cannabis-related reasons since legalization. One concerned a man who was investing in an growing facility in Nevada; another involved a year-old London, Ont. In December, the federal privacy commissioner urged cannabis buyers to use cash if at all possible. In mid-October, U. For Recreational Use If you live in a state where recreational use is legal, you can buy weed online — but under one condition.
Moreover, marijuana deliveries for recreational use are still far from the norm. You can order weed online in most states, but you need to pick it up in person at a set time. For Medicinal Use Purchasing medicinal marijuana online and having it delivered is quite common since many patients have debilitating conditions. Nevertheless, the stipulation mentioned above still stands — the purchase has to come from within the state.
This means that the chances of experiencing the classic side effects of THC like paranoia and anxiety are much slimmer. Nevertheless, the need for moderation still stands.
Anecdotal evidence suggests delta 8 THC produces mild euphoria, focus, creativity, energy, and a mental buzz. Because of a legal gray zone that leaves many people confused.
Delta 8 THC is present in very low levels in cannabis, so low that extracting it becomes highly ineffective, and a particular process is required. However, on August 20, , the DEA introduced an Interim Final Rule, an amendment to the Farm Bill, deeming all synthetically-derived tetrahydrocannabinol a schedule I controlled substance. This category could include delta 8 THC, thus creating somewhat of a paradox.
Delta 8 THC manufacturers are going ahead at full throttle because delta 8 THC falls under the definition of a hemp-derived product.
Some states have placed bans or restrictions on its use. Laws can change quickly, so make sure you stay up-to-date. The convenience of online purchases is particularly valid when it comes to delta 8 THC.
Moreover, online selections are usually vast, and the comfort of your own home is a better environment for you to weigh your options carefully. Last but not least, online purchases eliminate a lot of the operational costs of running a brick-and-mortar store. In March, the mostly Europe-based buyers made 14, pot purchases on the markets Cannazon, Versus, and Agartha, compared with just 11, in January, a 30 percent increase. The EMCDDA's principal scientific analyst, Teodora Groshkova, suggests that, while it's difficult to know the exact reason for that sales bump, the social distancing lockdowns that spread across Europe and later the US to fight the novel coronavirus in February and March might explain the sudden growth in digital demand for contraband cannabis.
Despite the growth in the number of online marijuana sales that the EMCDDA counted, the group notes that overall revenue from those sales appears to have dropped during the same period. That's because while small-quantity retail sales of marijuana increased, the large-quantity wholesale buys that make up a large fraction of the dark web drug business diminished.
And while gram sales of marijuana, for instance, increased 46 percent from 1, in January to 2, in March, kilogram sales of marijuana dropped 36 percent from 5, in January to 3, in March. Groshkova argues all of that can be explained by pointing to how a pandemic economy changes drug dealing: With no physical contact, retail sales are moving online. But some offline drug dealers who source their drugs from the dark web have stopped refilling their supplies, since they can't make contact with buyers to sell their wares.
In its study, the EMCDDA scraped buyers' review postings on the three dark web markets, allowing them to count the individual sales of different drugs.
