Denver better known as a mile high city has legalized medical marijuana in 2000 this followed by the legalization of recreational use of cannabis in 2012. On November 7, 2000, 54% of Colorado voters approved Amendment 20, which amended the State Constitution to allow the use of marijuana in the state for approved patients with written medical consent. Since then, Denver, Colorado has been on a forefront of policy making and setting the standards for the legalization of cannabis use as an example for the rest of the nation.

Currently Colorado law allows patients to possess up to 2 ounces (57 g) of medical marijuana and may cultivate no more than six marijuana plants (no more than three of these mature flowering plants at a time). Anything above that amount is not protected under state law with the rights of those who stay within the guidelines set forth by the state. Recreational marijuana was legalized in December 2012.

On April 20, Mayor Hancock signed a law that legalized cannabis delivery in Denver, Colorado. Under this law both medical and recreational users can order delivery to their homes and receive up to one once of cannabis products per day. They must be over twenty-one years of age both on a medical and recreational side and must be present at home to receive their cannabis delivery. 

This law has kicked off the first in the history of Denver social equity program designed to help end the war on drugs. This Program created licensing exclusivity for marijuana business license applications for social equity applicants for the period of first three years. Existing marijuana retail stores won’t be able to deliver themselves. Instead, they’ll need to partner with a delivery company like doobba that’s licensed through the social equity application program to be able to offer cannabis delivery.
