Marijuana delivery is illegal in Tennessee since recreational and medical sales are not authorized. Hemp-derived cannabinoid products may be shipped under the 2023 Tennessee Hemp Act, with age-21 verification at delivery and licensed-shipper requirements.
Because TCA 39-17-417 makes marijuana delivery a felony, no Nashville business can lawfully deliver marijuana to consumers regardless of platform claims or out-of-state legality. Hemp-derived cannabinoid products such as Delta-8 may be shipped within Tennessee under the 2023 Tennessee Hemp Act, which requires the seller to be TDA-licensed, the carrier to verify the recipient is at least 21 years old at delivery, and the package to be labeled and tamper-evident. Metro Code does not impose extra delivery rules, but Nashville police enforce state criminal law against unlicensed marijuana couriers.
Delivering marijuana, shipping unlicensed hemp products, allowing under-21 receipt, or mislabeling packages exposes the business and driver to felony charges, license revocation, and civil penalties.
