Among the Executive order issued by Governor Jared Polis on Friday was a provision temporarily allowing for the curbside delivery at marijuana dispensaries, and also permits doctors to issue medical marijuana cards remotely. 

Both orders were made in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus. 

Polis said, “I temporarily suspend the prohibition on retail marijuana store online sales to facilitate pick up by consumers 21-years of age and older in a manner consistent with social distancing guidelines issued by the state Department of Public Health.”

The order does not affect sales inside dispensaries, which are still allowed to be open.

Also in the order issued Friday, a provision allowing restaurants to serve alcohol to go when placed with a food order.

All provisions run through April 18.
