Quick answer
A cannabis delivery now order goes to a licensed retailer and arrives at a home address, in most cases in 30 to 90 minutes in dense metro areas. State law sets the market. A licensed seller in one state cannot deliver into another. Federal law still lists cannabis as a Schedule I drug. Payment at the door is cash or debit in most cases.

Payment
Credit cards fail at most cannabis checkouts because card networks follow federal law. Cash and PIN debit work at the door. Cashless apps that link to a bank account cover the rest. Drivers carry change in some markets, not all. Exact cash saves time.
State rules
Delivery licensing exists in California, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Arizona, Maryland, New York, New Mexico, and New Jersey, among others. A few states license no adult-use delivery. Zone size, hours, and order limits come from the state regulator, not the shop. Check the state agency page before the first order.
Why convenience drives demand
Delivery removes the trip, the line, and the sales counter. Shops with delivery see repeat orders from the same addresses. Convenience sits near price and product range in how buyers pick a store. Licensed delivery also competes with unlicensed sellers who offered the same speed for years.
