Westword

Dear Stoner: I live in Aurora, but my favorite dispensaries are in Denver. Can they deliver to me, since that’s legal in Denver now?
Camille
Dear Camille: They could in theory, but probably can’t in real life. Aurora and Denver are Colorado’s only towns of consequence currently allowing recreational marijuana delivery; delivery across city lines is okay as long as the towns have permitted the practice and the dispensary is licensed to deliver in both jurisdictions. So if your favorite dispensary has been approved for delivery in Denver and then receives approval in Aurora, you’re good to go. But for a company to get such approval is a lot easier said than done right now.

The licensing rules and requirements in Aurora and Denver are very different, and only a few stores have delivery licenses in both cities – but all of those dispensaries have locations in both Aurora and Denver, so you’re not getting anything Denver-specific by ordering from one in Denver as opposed to Aurora.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $23,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
Based on the small number of dispensaries that opted into delivery since it was legalized, there’s a good chance your favorite store doesn’t deliver in Denver, either.
