Marijuana deliveries still flourishing

BOSTON – One delivery service offers gluten-free marijuana brownies. Another promises a free marijuana-laced lollipop with each order. A third touts trained “caregivers” and delivery until 4 a.m.

These marijuana delivery services – the subject of an unsuccessful crackdown by state health officials two years ago – were expected to fade away once the first state-sanctioned medical-marijuana dispensaries opened last year. Instead, they have proliferated, The Boston Globe found.

More than two dozen of these Internet-based services are now openly advertising long menus of marijuana strains and edibles.

The cat-and-mouse dance between the services and regulators intensified recently when the popular website Leafly, which features marijuana news and product reviews, abruptly removed online listings for more than 20 Massachusetts delivery services after patient advocates and the Globe questioned their legality.

On April 28, health officials told Leafly the delivery services were operating illegally. •
