How to Find the Best Marijuana Dispensary Deals Online
Learn how to secure top cannabis deals and save big at your favorite online dispensaries. Find tips on what to look for and avoid common pitfalls.
Short answer
There is no national closing hour for a cannabis dispensary. Store hours come from state law plus the city or county license. A shop open at 9 p.m. in Las Vegas can be closed at 9 p.m. in Denver. Check the store page for today's date, not a general list of shops.
State rules set the outer limits
State regulators cap the hours when a licensed retailer can sell. Local governments can shorten those hours. Examples:
- Colorado: retail sales run 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., per the Marijuana Enforcement Division.
- Oregon: OLCC rules allow sales 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- Washington: no sales between midnight and 8 a.m.
- California: no statewide sales-hour rule. Cities and counties set them. Some allow 24-hour retail.
- Nevada: hours are set by local jurisdictions. Clark County licenses 24-hour retail stores.
Medical and adult-use counters in the same building can keep different hours. Ask which register is open.
Marijuana Dispensary vs Delivery Service
How to find one open right now
- Open a map app and search "dispensary." Turn on the "Open now" filter. Confirm the pin sits in the state where you are.
- Open the store's own order page. Most list pickup windows by the hour.
- Call. A person who answers confirms the door is open.
- Check the time zone. A 10 p.m. close in Mountain Time is 9 p.m. in Pacific Time.
Order cutoffs run before closing time
Pickup orders stop 30 to 60 minutes before the door closes at most stores. Delivery windows end earlier than storefront hours in most markets. An order placed after the cutoff rolls to the next business day. If the shop closes at 10 p.m., submit at 9 p.m. or sooner.
What to bring
Bring a government photo ID. Bring cash or a debit card. Cards are processed as ATM withdrawals in many shops, not as credit. Staff check ID on every sale, including a second visit in one day.
Holidays and peak days
Dispensaries may close on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. April 20 has the longest lines. Hours that day are extended where local law allows it.
What this means for online orders
A menu that loads at 11 p.m. does not mean a budtender is on shift. Online menus stay live after close. The order confirmation email or text states the pickup window. If no window appears, the shop is closed and the order waits for the next open day.
