Alright, picture this: you’re a cannabis delivery driver. You’re cruising through the streets, playlist bumping, and everything’s chill. Suddenly, you realize you’re approaching one of the biggest days on the cannabis calendar, and the orders are rolling in faster than you can keep track. Across the country, from California to Colorado to Michigan, cannabis delivery services are gearing up for the most demanding shifts of the year. But what days are these exactly, and why are they such a booming time for cannabis?
Let’s break down the busiest days for cannabis delivery drivers, the states that are booming, and why everyone suddenly needs that THC fix on these special days.
1. April 20th – The Mother of All Cannabis Holidays
Let’s not beat around the bush—April 20th (420) is, without a doubt, the Super Bowl of cannabis sales. It’s that day when the entire cannabis world collectively celebrates, and it’s huge for both dispensaries and delivery drivers alike. Orders skyrocket, often doubling or tripling normal daily averages. The streets are buzzing with more than just excitement; they’re filled with delivery drivers hustling to meet demand.
States Booming on 420:
- California: The largest legal cannabis market in the U.S., California sees a huge spike in deliveries, especially in big cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. Whether it’s for a 420 celebration or just for personal relaxation, everyone seems to need their stash on this day.
- Colorado: Another major player, Colorado, has a long-standing cannabis culture, and 420 is treated like a holiday with local events, concerts, and even parades. Delivery drivers here are running around the clock.
- Oregon and Washington: With relaxed cannabis laws, these two states see their own 420 rush, with delivery drivers catering to eager customers looking to enjoy the day to its fullest.
2. Green Wednesday
If you thought 420 was the only big day for cannabis deliveries, think again! Green Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, is quickly rising in popularity. Why? Well, people are gearing up for the stress of the holidays, and let’s face it—sometimes, a little cannabis is just the thing to help you chill before the turkey hits the table. Dispensaries roll out special deals, and everyone wants to stock up before the holiday weekend.
States Booming on Green Wednesday:
- Arizona: With recreational cannabis legalized, Arizona has seen a growing market, and Green Wednesday sales have spiked in recent years.
- Michigan: Michigan’s cannabis scene is booming, and Green Wednesday has become one of the top sales days of the year, especially in Detroit and Grand Rapids.
3. Black Friday
That’s right. Black Friday isn’t just for scoring discounts on electronics and new TVs. Cannabis dispensaries also get in on the action, offering specials and discounts that are too good to pass up. People are already in the shopping mindset, and cannabis is no exception.
States Booming on Black Friday:
- Nevada: With cannabis tourists flooding into Las Vegas, Nevada’s delivery drivers are on overdrive, bringing the goods to locals and out-of-towners alike.
- Florida: Though medical cannabis is the name of the game in Florida, the demand on Black Friday is high, especially in metropolitan areas like Miami and Orlando.
4. New Year’s Eve
What better way to ring in the New Year than with a little cannabis to mellow out before (or after) the celebrations? New Year’s Eve is another big day for cannabis delivery drivers. People are looking for a way to enhance their night or relax as the year comes to a close.
States Booming on New Year’s Eve:
- Massachusetts: The East Coast is catching up quickly with the West Coast, and Massachusetts has a thriving recreational cannabis market. Delivery drivers in Boston and surrounding areas are putting in the work on New Year’s Eve.
- Illinois: Since the state went legal in 2020, Illinois has seen a significant jump in delivery demand, and New Year’s Eve is a top day for orders, especially in Chicago.
The Future of Cannabis Delivery
With recreational cannabis becoming legal in more states and delivery services gaining popularity, it’s only a matter of time before we see even more demand for cannabis deliveries. The potential for federal legalization could further explode the market, bringing cannabis to every corner of the country.
So, if you’re a cannabis delivery driver, mark these days on your calendar and get ready. Whether it’s 420, Green Wednesday, or New Year’s Eve, cannabis lovers across the country are counting on you to bring the goods!
