As many Americans continue to sacrifice most of their normal lives to combat the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, safe and legal access to cannabis remains essential according to lawmakers and consumers alike.
More than a dozen states have deemed legal marijuana dispensaries as “essential” operations that are allowed to conduct business throughout efforts to stop the spread of Covid-19, reports Forbes.
“The recognition by our government officials that cannabis is indeed not just here to stay, but an essential part of life for millions of Americans—particularly in the patient community—is a welcome move in the right direction,” NORML Executive Director Erik Altieri told Forbes. “It is also a move that could not have come at a better moment for those who still require access to maintain quality of life during these trying and troubled times.”
Much like other essential businesses such as grocery stores and banks, cannabis dispensaries are doing their part to slow the spread..

In the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic, government and health officials have issued mandates and guidelines to help slow the spread of the illness, from the shutdown of Broadway to shelter-in-place — and as a result, many people are struggling to maintain a semblance of normalcy. For some, cannabis consumption is central to daily rituals: According to a Gallup poll, 12% of American adults say they smoke marijuana and those who use cannabis medicinally — some 3.7 million Americans, according to data analytics firm New Frontier Data — rely on the plant for relief for a number of conditions.
While no longer synonymous with hazy sessions among friends, cannabis consumption is heavily rooted in community and sharing. However, in a period where social gathering is a health risk, how does one safely partake in one of the most group-oriented practices?

Urban Pharm photographed in San Francisco, Calif. Saturday, August 5, 2017.
You have milk, eggs, bread, butter, hand sanitizer (just enough), Easter candy (we’re not going anywhere) and paper towels (unless you live with me, in which case you realize that after five trips to the grocery store, you do not, in fact, have any paper towels, at all).
But do you have your recreational cannabis?
This was the question faced by literally millions of people in the Bay Area earlier this week, as denizens settled however anxiously into their own couches following a shelter-in-place order decreed by local officials.
Barry, who lives in San Francisco, realized he did not — and so became one of thousands of Californians spending Monday afternoon in line. It could have been worse. He could have been in Culver City, waiting for ammo. Instead, he sent InsideHook photos from the back of the line at Urbana, the Bernal Heights dispensary.
“Are there actually different categories?” Barry says, when ask..

As San Franciscans continue to grapple with the magnitude of the “shelter in place” order issued simultaneously by six Bay Area counties on Monday, news that marijuana dispensaries and delivery services would not be considered an “essential” service by the city resulted in confusion and pushback.
The decision was initially met with shock and outrage by prominent cannabis industry figures and consumers alike. However, the classification was reversed in under 24 hours Tuesday.
In an email to anxious members of the industry sent Tuesday, as a joint effort between San Francisco’s Office of Cannabis and Department of Health, city officials acknowledged the request from the Mayor’s Office and the County Health Officer to shut down all cannabis businesses as a result of the “shelter in place” order.
“The situation is fluid,” the note conceded, “and we are working closely with city partners and healthcare professionals to craft a strategy that will allow for access to healthy and s..

COLLINSVILLE – The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation has announced guidance for cannabis dispensaries to continue business during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Illinois Supply & Provisions at 1014 Eastport Plaza in Collinsville is a medical marijuana dispensary.
To help reduce contact between people, dispensaries in Illinois will be allowed to sell medical cannabis to medical cannabis patients and OAPP participants outside a limited access area until March 30, provided dispensaries follow certain guidelines.
The guidelines will permit the dispensary to sell medical cannabis on the dispensary’s property, or on a public walkway or curb adjacent to the dispensary.
Medical cannabis patients will be able to continue to use their designated caregiver to purchase medicine for them. However, dispensaries may not deliver medical cannabis to a patient or caregiver’s home.
The rules do not apply to adult use cannabis sales. Those sales must still take place inside the lim..
