Weed delivery: Portland commissioners OK licensing for ‘marijuana retail couriers’

At Mayor Charlie Hales’ final city council meeting, Portland commissioners unanimously approved an ordinance that adds a license for delivery-only cannabis businesses.

But don’t expect to be able to purchase marijuana online, yet.

Businesses operating as “marijuana retail couriers” would not be able to sell from brick & mortar shops and they could only receive and deliver orders between certain hours of the day. According to the ordinance, they could only deliver products within city limits.

The courier license is billed in city documents as a way for “microbusiness entrepreneurs” to break into the marijuana market.
