Licensed cannabis retailers may deliver to any address in Riverside under California Code of Regulations title 4 section 15418, even though the city tightly controls where storefronts may locate, because state law preempts local delivery bans.
The Bureau of Cannabis Control rule, now under the Department of Cannabis Control, allows state-licensed retailers to deliver to any private physical address in California unless that address is on federally controlled land. The Sixth District Court of Appeal upheld the rule in League of California Cities v. DCC. Riverside cannot prohibit deliveries crossing into the city, but it may regulate vehicle inspections only as state law allows. Drivers must carry the manifest, obey the one-ounce flower and eight-gram concentrate vehicle inventory caps, and verify recipient age 21 with a government photo ID at the door.
Delivery without a state license, exceeding inventory caps, or selling to unverified or underage recipients leads to state license discipline and potential criminal charges against drivers and licensees.
