The Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act, which Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law last summer, contains provisions authorizing the delivery of medical marijuana. The law mandated that the Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) establish a process to authorize deliveries of medical cannabis. However, the process has not yet been established. During the COVID-19 shutdown, ATCs remained open; however, many cannabis patients were understandably concerned about waiting in long lines or visiting crowded ATCs. While some ATCS are offering online appointments and curbside pickup, patient access was still a concern.
Under the NJDOH medical marijuana delivery waiver, ATCs and patients should be aware of the numerous requirements set forth in the waiver. They include:
Prior to initiating delivery services, ATCs must also submit a delivery plan for approval by the NJDOH. The delivery plan must include Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the following:
COVID-19 has accelerated medical cannabis delivery in New Jersey, which is good news for patients and ATCs. As ATCs work to incorporate delivery into their business models, it is imperative to incorporate all of the requirements set forth in the NJDOH waiver.
