As cannabis delivery becomes more popular in Miami, patients and consumers alike often ask how the process works—especially when they’re visiting from out of state or staying in places like hotels, condos, or Airbnbs. Whether you’re a local resident or a traveler looking for convenience, here’s a helpful breakdown of the most frequently asked cannabis delivery questions.

Can You Get Cannabis Delivered to a Hotel, Airbnb, or Condo in Miami?

Yes—but with a few caveats. Delivery to residential addresses like houses, condos, and apartments is standard across most Miami dispensaries, but hotels and Airbnbs can sometimes be tricky.

For hotels, it often depends on the policy of the specific property. Some hotels permit deliveries as long as the guest is available to meet the driver in the lobby or designated area. However, many upscale or chain hotels may not allow cannabis-related drop-offs. Always call the front desk first to confirm.

Airbnbs are usually easier, provided you’re staying at a private residence and not a shared space. Condo buildings may have restrictions similar to hotels, especially those with front desk security or building managers who monitor deliveries. It’s recommended that you meet the driver curbside or in the lobby if your building doesn’t allow direct delivery.

What Do You Need to Place a Delivery Order in Miami?

To place a cannabis delivery order from a licensed dispensary in Miami, you must be:

• 21 or older with a valid Florida medical marijuana card (for most dispensaries, since recreational cannabis is not yet legal in Florida),
• OR a registered caregiver with proper documentation.

When ordering, you’ll need:

• A valid Florida medical cannabis card.
• A matching photo ID (e.g., driver’s license or passport).
• Proof of address (usually through the delivery address provided, which must match what’s listed in your registry profile or be validated verbally if it’s a hotel or Airbnb).
• A working phone number to receive order confirmations and updates from the driver.

Some dispensaries offer online ordering through their websites or mobile apps, while others allow call-in orders with patient verification over the phone.

Are Out-of-State Medical Cards Accepted for Delivery in Florida?

Unfortunately, no—Florida does not recognize out-of-state medical cannabis cards. In order to legally order cannabis for delivery in Miami, you must be a registered Florida medical marijuana patient.

However, if you’re a frequent visitor to the state, Florida allows seasonal residents to apply for a temporary medical marijuana card. This could apply to snowbirds or long-term Airbnb renters who spend months at a time in Florida. You’ll need two forms of proof of Florida residency (such as a lease agreement and utility bill) and a qualified physician’s recommendation.

Until adult-use cannabis is legalized in the state, out-of-state cardholders cannot legally access cannabis delivery or purchases in Florida.

Is There a Minimum Purchase for Delivery Orders?

Yes, most dispensaries in Miami require a minimum order for deliveries. While the exact amount can vary by store, most set a minimum between $50 and $100. This minimum helps cover fuel, labor, and compliance costs associated with delivery operations.

In some cases, delivery minimums may increase depending on your location—if you’re located far from the dispensary or in a hard-to-reach area, the threshold may be slightly higher.

Some dispensaries offer free delivery if your order hits a higher minimum (e.g., free delivery on orders over $100), while others charge a flat fee between $5 and $10 for smaller orders. Check the dispensary’s delivery terms during checkout or call for clarification before placing an order.

In Summary

Cannabis delivery in Miami is designed to be convenient and compliant with state laws. Whether you’re soaking up the sun in South Beach, relaxing in Brickell, or staying in a condo in Edgewater, licensed dispensaries aim to make sure your medicine or wellness products arrive safely and securely. Just make sure you’ve got the proper ID, meet the legal requirements, and confirm the delivery location beforehand.
