Colorado cannabis dispensaries and delivery services can't conduct online sales, but a new bill in the state legislature could allow pre-ordered transactions.new bill allowing online marijuana sales passes the Colorado Legislature
. Although the state's marijuana dispensaries can now accept pre-orders, customers are still required to pay for those orders in person — and most of those transactions must be done in cash, because the majority of banks won't provide marijuana businesses with credit and debit sales systems for fear of violating federal prohibitions.
Introduced by Representative William Lindstedt, House Bill 23-1279 would allow dispensaries and marijuana delivery services to accept online payments through pre-orders. Customers would still have to enter the store and show their IDs, or provide identification to a delivery driver, in order to pick up a purchase. But it would definitely save time.
The taxes are outrageous on cannabis. You buy something that is $25 but after taxes it's $50 or more.
