Cannabis delivery in Boston operates under the Cannabis Control Commission 935 CMR 500 framework with two-person teams, body-worn cameras, and tamper-proof packaging, plus Boston Cannabis Board licensing aligned with the local equity ordinance.
The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission authorizes two delivery license types under 935 CMR 500: Marijuana Courier, which delivers from licensed retailers, and Marijuana Delivery Operator, which can warehouse and sell directly to consumers. Both require two-person teams, body-worn cameras during delivery, and GPS-tracked vehicles. Delivery licenses were initially exclusive to Social Equity and Economic Empowerment applicants for at least three years. In Boston, licensees must hold a Host Community Agreement signed by the Boston Cannabis Board, which prioritizes equity applicants from areas of disproportionate impact. Deliveries to dorms, federal property, and public ways are prohibited.
Delivering without two staff, missing body-cam footage, or dropping off at unauthorized locations can lead to CCC license suspension, BCB Host Community Agreement revocation, and forfeiture of product.
