Florida, a state known for its sun, beaches, and now, a contentious court case, finds itself at the center of this transformation.</p> <h3><strong>A Twist in the Tale</strong></h3> <p>Last Wednesday, a pivotal turn occurred. The 1st District Court of Appeal, consisting of a three-judge panel, <a href="https://health.wusf.usf.edu/health-news-florida/2023-08-10/appeals-court-backs-ruling-in-case-on-third-party-medical-marijuana-ordering?_amp=true">upheld</a> an administrative law judge’s ruling that came out in favor of Leafly Holdings, Inc., a prominent online cannabis ordering site.</p> <h3><strong>Van Wyk’s Insightful Judgment</strong></h3> <p>Judge Suzanne Van Wyk’s earlier verdict highlighted the Florida Department of Health’s oversight. In 2021, the department attempted to utilize an “unadopted rule” to bar third-party online sites from processing patient orders for medical marijuana. Both the appellate court and Van Wyk found this move questionable.</p> <h3><strong>Leafly’s Role in Online Cannabis Sales</strong></h3> <p>What does Leafly do? Patients browse available medical marijuana products on their platform, selecting items to their online carts. <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/leafly-cuts-journalism-department-and-announces-layoffs-amid-challenging-cannabis-industry/amp/">Leafly</a> then informs the medical marijuana treatment centers (MMTC) of these orders, later notifying patients when their orders are prepped and set for pick-up. The actual distribution of orders, however, remains with the state-licensed MMTCs.</p> <h3><strong>A Controversial Memo</strong></h3> <p>In February 2021, the Florida Department of Health released a memo that shook the cannabis industry. The memo signaled that online services like Leafly violated state law. Specifically, a law that forbids operators from contracting for services directly tied to the cultivation, processing, and dispensing of cannabis.</p> <h3><strong>The “Dispensing” Dilemma</strong></h3> <p>A central <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2021/08/17/e-commerce-company-challenges-florida-pot-restriction/?outputType=amp">argument</a> unfolded around the term “dispensing.” While Leafly acts as an interface showcasing products and conveying order details, it doesn’t directly handle the product. The question then arises: Does Leafly’s relationship with MMTCs fall within the state’s legal boundaries or not? This debate about the true essence of “dispensing” challenges the Department’s interpretation and the potential necessity of its regulation on Leafly’s operations.</p> <h3><strong>In Conclusion</strong></h3> <p>The future of online cannabis ordering in Florida and beyond remains on uncertain grounds. As digital platforms and traditional regulatory mechanisms clash, the outcome of this case could set a precedent for future legal battles in the realm of online cannabis commerce.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/online-cannabis-ordering-florida-appeals-court-sides-with-leafly/">Online Cannabis Ordering: Florida Appeals Court Sides with Leafly</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/online-cannabis-ordering-florida-appeals-court-sides-with-leafly/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">198201</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Green Coach: Connecticut’s Cannabis Delivery Pioneer</title> <link>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/green-coach-connecticuts-cannabis-delivery-pioneer/</link> <comments>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/green-coach-connecticuts-cannabis-delivery-pioneer/?noamp=mobile#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Hazey Taughtme]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 10 Jun 2023 19:42:59 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Industry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cannabis delivery]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cannabis industry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cannabis products]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cannabis sales]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Connecticut]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fine Fettle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Green Coach Delivery]]></category> <category><![CDATA[home delivery]]></category> <category><![CDATA[marijuana legalization]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Online Ordering]]></category> <category><![CDATA[recreational cannabis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Safety Measures]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Equity]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://blackcannabismagazine.com/?p=197608</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Green Coach Delivery: A New Chapter in Cannabis Delivery Connecticut’s cannabis industry has reached a significant milestone with the launch of the state’s first recreational cannabis delivery service, Green Coach Delivery.

The company has started delivering cannabis orders from Fine Fettle in Manchester using unmarked vehicles, ensuring discretion and privacy for customers. The service operates from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., with all orders placed online.</p> <p>Customers can select their desired product and delivery time, with a minimum order of $75 and a $10 delivery fee. However, orders exceeding $150 qualify for free delivery. As the business operates entirely online, cash transactions are not involved, adding an extra layer of safety and convenience.</p> <h3><strong>Commitment to Social Equity</strong></h3> <p>Given the nature of the products being delivered, Green Coach Delivery has implemented stringent safety measures. These include the use of unmarked vehicles, GPS tracking to monitor driver locations, and safety calls. Additional safety features, such as an alarm and a lockbox, are also in place.</p> <p>Cochran, a former high school football coach and social equity owner, is using this business opportunity to give back to the community. He plans to hire over half of his employees from communities negatively affected by the war on drugs. This commitment to social equity extends to Fine Fettle’s Manchester location, the first social equity dispensary in the state.</p> <h3><strong>The Future of Cannabis Delivery</strong></h3> <p>Both Green Coach Delivery and Fine Fettle are optimistic about the growth of their businesses as they work together. As more customers experience the convenience of home delivery for their cannabis products, the demand for such services is expected to rise rapidly.</p> <p>In conclusion, the launch of Green Coach Delivery marks a significant step forward in Connecticut’s cannabis industry. By combining convenience, safety, and a commitment to social equity, the company is setting a high standard for future recreational cannabis delivery services.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/green-coach-connecticuts-cannabis-delivery-pioneer/">Green Coach: Connecticut’s Cannabis Delivery Pioneer</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/green-coach-connecticuts-cannabis-delivery-pioneer/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">197608</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss> <!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache.
