Why Licensed Cannabis Delivery Matters: California Seizes $1.2 Billion in Illegal Cannabis

California’s crackdown on illegal cannabis operations just hit a major milestone: over $1.2 billion worth of illegal cannabis seized — an 18x increase since 2022. Right here in Orange County, we’ve seen massive busts, including a $29.9 million operation shut down just months ago.

What does this mean for you as a consumer? The risks of buying from unlicensed sources have never been higher.

The Hidden Dangers of Illegal Cannabis

When you purchase from an unlicensed dealer or delivery service, you’re taking serious risks:

  • No lab testing — Illegal products may contain pesticides, heavy metals, mold, or dangerous additives
  • No quality control — What you see isn’t always what you get
  • Legal consequences — Buying from illegal sources can put YOU at legal risk
  • No recourse — If something goes wrong, you have no consumer protections

Why Licensed Delivery Matters

At Premium Meds Collective, we’re a fully licensed, DCC-verified cannabis delivery service. Every product we carry is:

  • Lab-tested for potency, purity, and safety
  • Sourced from licensed California cultivators
  • Tracked through the state’s seed-to-sale system
  • Delivered legally to your door

When you order from a licensed delivery service, you’re not just getting better products — you’re supporting the legal market that’s working to push out the dangerous black market operations that put consumers at risk.

How to Verify Your Delivery Service is Legal

Don’t take anyone’s word for it. You can verify any cannabis business license through the California Department of Cannabis Control’s license search.

Look for:

  • A valid, active license number
  • The correct business name and address
  • License type that matches their operations (delivery, retail, etc.)
