Short answer
Cannabis delivery 24/7 is legal in a small number of US markets. Most states set delivery hours by regulation. California allows licensed deliveries from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. New York sets its own window. Nevada and Colorado set no statewide closing hour, so some stores in Las Vegas and the Denver area stay open at all hours and deliver at night.
Buying Guide: Cost of 24 Hour Cannabis Delivery
Count: 24 states plus the District of Columbia allow adult-use sales as of 2025. Fewer than 5 of those markets have confirmed 24-hour delivery.
Store hours vs delivery hours
Retail hours and delivery hours are separate rules. A store can hold a 24-hour license and still face a delivery cutoff. Regulators cite noise, traffic, and impaired driving as reasons for the cutoff. Driver shift limits also apply.
Markets with 24-hour service
- Nevada: no statewide closing time. Las Vegas stores sell at all hours, and delivery fleets run through the night.
- Colorado: state law leaves hours to cities and counties. A small number of Denver-area licenses operate 24 hours.
- California: the default retail and delivery window is 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Some cities extend retail hours, but state delivery rules still apply.
- New York: delivery is licensed and time-limited. Check the Office of Cannabis Management for the current window.
Why the window exists
State rules tie delivery to store operations. A driver carries a manifest, a copy of the order, and a license. When law enforcement stops a vehicle at 2 a.m., the paperwork must match. Fewer staff work at that hour, so the cost per order rises.
Fees and minimums
Delivery fees run from $3 to $15 in most markets. Minimum orders run from $20 to $50. Night orders in Las Vegas carry higher fees because fewer drivers work those hours. Taxes apply the same as in-store sales.
What to check before you order
- State license number. Look for a license on the retailer site and on the state registry.
- Delivery hours in writing. Ask for the cutoff time.
- ID rules. A driver must scan a government ID at the door.
- Payment. Most deliveries take cash or debit. Federal law blocks credit card processors.
- Address limits. Some states bar delivery to dormitories, hotels, and tribal land.
What is not known
No state publishes hour-by-hour delivery data. Claims about overnight demand rest on company statements, not public records. Treat any "most orders land at 2 a.m." figure as unverified.
