The Post-Collapse Delivery Landscape
Cannabis delivery in LA looks very different than it did a few years ago. The two platforms that once dominated — Eaze and Grassdoor — have both collapsed, victims of the same crushing economics that plague the entire legal cannabis industry: 40%+ taxes, brutal competition from the untaxed illicit market, and venture capital funding that dried up when profitability proved elusive.
What has emerged in their wake is a more fragmented but more resilient ecosystem. The survivors fall into two categories: brand-owned delivery services run by major cannabis companies (STIIIZY, ERBA), and independent delivery platforms (HERB, Amuse, Kushfly) that aggregate products from multiple dispensaries. Several neighborhood dispensaries also run their own delivery fleets, giving local customers another option.
Major Delivery Services
| Service | Coverage | Speed | Minimum / Free Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|
| STIIIZY Delivery | All LA | Same-day | Free on $75+ / tax-included pricing |
| HERB Delivery | DTLA, Hollywood, Sherman Oaks | 30–60 min | Varies by zone |
| Amuse | Wide LA coverage | On-demand + scheduled | Varies |
| Kushfly | Greater LA | ~45 min | Cash, credit, debit, Bitcoin |
| Emjay | Wide LA coverage | Same-day | Free delivery |
| ERBA | Westside + surrounding | Same-day | Free, no minimum |
STIIIZY Delivery
STIIIZY has leveraged its position as California's top-selling cannabis brand to build one of the most reliable delivery services in LA. The coverage area spans all of Los Angeles, delivery is free on orders over $75, and — uniquely — STIIIZY uses tax-included pricing, which means the price you see is the price you pay. In a market where the 40%+ tax consistently shocks first-time buyers at checkout, this transparency is a significant advantage.
The product selection skews toward STIIIZY's own brands but includes partner products as well. If you want the simplest, most predictable delivery experience in LA, STIIIZY is the safest choice.
HERB Delivery
HERB focuses on speed, with delivery windows of 30–60 minutes in its core service areas: DTLA, Hollywood, and Sherman Oaks. The platform aggregates products from multiple dispensaries, giving you access to a wider selection than any single shop. For customers in HERB's coverage area, the speed is the primary selling point — comparable to food delivery apps.
Amuse
Amuse was founded by a team with backgrounds at Amazon and Nike, and the operational DNA shows. The platform offers both on-demand and scheduled delivery, giving customers the option to get cannabis quickly or schedule a delivery window that fits their day. The scheduled option is particularly useful for visitors who want to time a delivery to their hotel check-in or evening plans.
Kushfly
Kushfly stands out for two reasons: 45-minute delivery times across greater LA and the widest payment options in the market. While most cannabis delivery services are limited to cash and debit, Kushfly accepts cash, credit cards, debit cards, and Bitcoin. For customers who do not want to deal with the cash-heavy nature of cannabis retail, Kushfly removes that friction.
Most delivery services are cash or debit only. Kushfly accepts credit cards and Bitcoin. ERBA offers free delivery with no minimum. Choose your service based on how you want to pay and how much you want to order.
Dispensary-Owned Delivery
Several of LA's best dispensaries run their own delivery fleets, which can be a better option than platform services if you already know which shop you want to buy from:
- ERBA: Free delivery, no minimum order, from three Westside locations. The best option for small orders.
- Emjay: Free delivery from the Fairfax storefront, wide coverage area.
- The Higher Path: Valley-based delivery, 1–2 hour windows, $50 minimum. The go-to for San Fernando Valley delivery.
- Traditional: DTLA delivery from their Olympic Blvd location. Access to house-grown flower at 50% below market prices.
- Cornerstone: In-house fleet with dedicated delivery vehicles.
What to Know Before You Order
- Minimum orders: Most services require a $50 minimum. Free delivery typically kicks in at $75–$150. ERBA is the notable exception with no minimum and free delivery.
- ID check at delivery: The driver will verify your ID (21+ with valid government-issued photo ID) at the door. Have it ready.
- Tax still applies: The 40%+ tax applies to delivery orders just as it does in-store, unless the service uses tax-included pricing (STIIIZY does).
- Tipping: Delivery drivers are typically tipped $5–$10, similar to food delivery.
- Delivery to hotels: Many hotels do not allow cannabis delivery to rooms. Check with your hotel first, or meet the driver outside. Some services will deliver to a specific address rather than a room number.
Most LA hotels have policies against cannabis on the premises. If you are ordering delivery to a hotel, check the hotel's policy first. Some visitors meet the delivery driver outside the hotel or at a nearby address. Cannabis-friendly Airbnbs are typically more accommodating.
Delivery vs. In-Store: Which Is Better?
Both options are legal and safe. The choice depends on what you value:
- Choose delivery if: You are staying in a hotel or rental, you do not have a car, you want to avoid the dispensary experience, or you want scheduled convenience.
- Choose in-store if: You want to see and smell products before buying, you want budtender advice, you enjoy the dispensary experience, or you want the widest selection.
- Pro tip: Many LA dispensaries post full menus online. Browse the menu before ordering delivery so you know exactly what you want.
