Quick answer
Colorado cannabis delivery requires a valid government-issued ID showing you're 21 or older, delivery to a private residence only (no hotels, motels, or short-term rentals), and payment by cash or debit — credit cards aren't accepted at the door. State purchase limits apply per day, and the person who placed the order must be the person who receives it.
Colorado's cannabis delivery rules are stricter than most people realize — and that's part of why the system works.
ID: every delivery requires a valid government-issued 21+ ID. Drivers can't accept expired IDs or photos of IDs.
Residences only: deliveries must go to a private residence. Hotels, motels, Airbnbs, dorms, and other lodging types are off-limits.
Purchase limits: Colorado caps how much you can buy per day. The state enforces this through METRC tracking; you don't need to do anything special, but if you hit a limit you'll see it at checkout.
Payment: cash or debit at the door. Credit cards are not accepted for cannabis transactions due to federal banking rules.
Drivers carry limited inventory and route their stops; on-the-fly add-ons aren't usually possible. Order what you want at checkout.
