If you can’t find the answers to your questions here, don’t hesitate to contact us or call us at 971-225-7461.

  • Where do you deliver?

    Currently, we can only deliver to residential addresses within the city limits of Portland, Oregon Multnomah County. While some addresses may say Portland they may not be within our legal delivery boundary, we use Portland Maps to check the validity of each address.

  • Can you deliver to my hostel, hotel, dorm or work?

    No, unfortunately it is against regulations for us to deliver to any public address. An AirBnB is ok though!

  • Do I have to be present to accept my order?

    Yes, state law requires that the person who places the order (or has their name associated with the order) must be present to receive the order. If you are ordering for someone else as a gift please provide their information (full name, DOB, email or phone number) in the notes section of your order or contact us through email at customercare@kushcartpdx.com or call at 971-225-7461 to help set up the delivery

  • What are your hours of delivery?

    12pm-8pm. We offer 2 hour delivery time slots starting from 12pm-2pm. Our final delivery time slot is 6-8pm. Same-day deliveries must be placed and accepted by 5:50pm.

  • What does it mean if the website says you're closed before the 6:50PM cutoff?

    In order to stay compliant with the 9PM delivery cut-off time established by the OLCC guidelines, we sometimes have to shut down our website early. This is a rare occurrence, but when it does happen it is because we do not have enough drivers to fulfill all of the orders placed before 9PM. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Please feel free to schedule your delivery for the following day (starting at 5:51PM), or try again tomorrow. Thank you for understanding!

  • Is there a delivery fee?

    We offer FREE delivery for orders over $30, pre tax pricing and after discounts are applied.


    We add a $7.99 delivery fee for orders under $30, pre tax pricing and after discounts are applied.

  • Are your menu prices before or after tax?

    Before tax. The state wide 20% tax will be added at the end of checkout. If you’re a medical card holder, tax will not be added at checkout.

    Oregon only allows one delivery per day to be made to any residence regardless of how many people order. This also means that one residence is subject to the daily sales limits. Even if multiple people are of legal age to place an order within a household their delivery must meet the Oregon daily sales limits of cannabis.

  • How many times can I order?

    We can only legally make one delivery per day to any household. This means that only 1 person from the household can order per day. Each daily order must also follow the daily sales limits of products.

  • Can I pay with a credit or debit card?

    Currently we can not accept typical credit and debit cards. We do, however, use the CanPay Debit App. It’s similar to Venmo or PayPal but for the cannabis industry. We also accept Stronghold payments which is an ACH payment method where electronic bank-to bank payments are made directly from your approved account. See below for more details on Stronghold or Canpay.

  • What is Stronghold Pay?

    Stronghold is a 3rd party payment processing company that we have partnered with to provide online payment. 



    Stronghold is a system that initiates and accepts automated clearing house (ACH) payments. The ACH is the primary system that agencies use for electronic funds transfer (EFT). With ACH, funds are electronically deposited in financial institutions, and payments are made online. Customers DO NOT need to create any new or extra accounts, you simply choose the Stronghold payment option at the checkout screen and link your bank account to Stronghold Pay. Once linking the accounts you will be able to select this payment option for future purchase without having to link the bank account again. Also, multiple bank accounts can be added or removed from one’s account.


    Stronghold payment does require a $2 fee for each purchase and that fee DOES NOT count towards the minimum purchase limit. 


    If you would like to reach out to Stronghold directly you can contact them at support@stronghold.co 

  • What is Canpay?

    Canpay Debit is a third party payment service that uses electronic ACH transfers so that you can pay from your bank account. Sign up here and download the app here. Once you’ve signed up and downloaded the app you can generate a 9-digit pin and QR code which expires within 30 minutes. Enter the 9-digit pin at check out and we will process your payment.

  • What is your return policy?

    Click the link here to learn about our return policy.

  • Will my delivery be discreet?

    We do our best to be discreet with our deliveries. Our delivery bags and vehicles have no cannabis branding or signifiers. If you’d like our drivers to take extra discretionary caution, feel free to add this request into your delivery notes.

  • What is your 3-strikes policy for customer accountability?

    A delivery attempt begins when a notification is sent to the phone number attached to the member’s profile. If a member does not have payment ready or is not available for the provided time frame resulting in the driver leaving and needing to re-attempt delivery, we will work with that customer to get them their order when they are available and if time allows. Once a chosen time frame is agreed upon between Kush Cart and the member, the delivery will be re-attempted at that time. If the re-attempted delivery is again unsuccessful we will continue to work with the member to successfully complete the delivery but this will result in 1-strike attached to the members profile. 3-strikes in 6 months will result in a 30-day suspension on the members profile and refund for the order if necessary. This means that a member may be able to place an order but it will not be accepted until the suspension is over. 1-strike will be attached to a member’s profile for 6 months. If after the 30-day suspension is served and the member receives 3 more strikes within 1-year, the following suspension will last 3-months.This policy is to ensure that all of our customer’s time is treated fairly and we maintain our commitment to a high level of service.

  • Do your drivers wear masks?

    We leave it up to our drivers to wear masks on their own accord. However, if you would like to request that your driver wear a mask for your delivery you can request them to do so by adding this to your order notes.

  • I downloaded the app, but I have been denied access. Why?

    Our app uses location settings on your phone to make sure that you are located in an area that we are allowed to deliver to. Currently, we can only deliver to residential addresses within the city limits of Portland, Oregon Multnomah County. If you are outside of our delivery boundary, then you will not be able to access our app's menu and place orders.

  • What is the best way to take advantage of app-exclusive offers?

    The best way to take advantage of our in-app offers is by turning your push notifications on! We primarily send exclusive deals and promo codes to our app users through push notifications.

  • Why am I able to view the menu on the app using an Android device, but unable to proceed with placing an order?

    Due to current Google policy guidelines, Android users on Google Play are only able to view menu (not make purchases). We are hoping that this policy will change in the near future and will promptly inform you once any changes occur!

  • What is the difference between THC and CBD?

    THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis that causes a high, while CBD (cannabidiol) is non-intoxicating and often used for relaxation, pain relief, and anxiety without the buzz.


  • What is CBN and what are its effects?

    CBN (cannabinol) is a mildly psychoactive cannabinoid known for its sedative properties. It’s often used in products designed to support sleep or deep relaxation.


  • What is CBG and what does it do?

    CBG (cannabigerol) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid believed to support focus, mood, and inflammation relief. It’s sometimes called the "mother of cannabinoids" because it’s a precursor to others like THC and CBD.


  • What are indica, sativa, and hybrid cannabis types?

    Indica strains tend to be relaxing and body-focused, sativas are uplifting and energizing, and hybrids offer a mix of both effects. Actual effects may vary depending on terpene and cannabinoid content.


  • What are terpenes in cannabis and why do they matter?

    Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that influence flavor, smell, and effects. Common terpenes include myrcene (relaxing), limonene (uplifting), and pinene (alertness).

  • What’s the difference between cured resin and live resin?

    Cured resin is made from dried cannabis flower, while live resin is extracted from fresh-frozen plants. Live resin usually retains more terpenes and offers a stronger aroma and flavor.

  • What is the difference between distillate, live distillate, and flavored distillate?

    • Distillate is a highly refined cannabis oil that contains mostly THC or CBD with little to no flavor, aroma, or other cannabinoids.
    • Live distillate is made using fresh-frozen cannabis instead of dried flower, preserving more of the plant’s original profile before distillation.
    • Flavored distillate has added terpenes—either botanical or cannabis-derived—to give it a specific taste or aroma, but it's still a purified THC oil at its core.

  • What is the difference between resin and rosin?

    Resin is a general term for cannabis extracts made from the plant’s trichomes. It includes products like live resin, which is made using fresh-frozen flower and solvents to preserve flavor and potency.


    Rosin, on the other hand, is a solventless extract—made by applying heat and pressure to cannabis flower or hash. Rosin is often viewed as a cleaner, more natural concentrate due to the absence of solvents.

  • What is the difference between CO2 and liquid diamonds?

    CO2 oil is extracted using carbon dioxide as a solvent, resulting in a cleaner and terpene-rich concentrate often used in cartridges or tinctures.


    Liquid diamonds are a premium form of concentrate made by isolating THCa crystals and blending them with live resin sauce. They offer high potency and strong flavor, making them popular among experienced users.


  • What is the difference between THC percentages and actual potency?

    THC percentage shows how much THC is in the product by weight, but potency also depends on other cannabinoids and terpenes. A lower-percentage strain can still hit hard.


  • What is the difference between full-spectrum and distillate products?

    Full-spectrum cannabis products contain a wide range of cannabinoids and terpenes, promoting the entourage effect. Distillates are highly refined and usually contain just THC or CBD.


  • What is a 510 thread cart and is it compatible with my battery?

    A 510 thread cartridge is a standard vape cartridge that screws onto most vape batteries using universal 510 threading. If your battery has a screw-on connection, it's likely 510-compatible. Always double-check your battery type before use, and make sure it's designed for cannabis oil cartridges.


  • What are B-Buds?

    B-Buds, or "budget buds," are smaller or lower-tier cannabis flower nugs that come from the same plant as premium flower. They may be less visually appealing or slightly less potent, but they still offer a solid smoking experience—usually at a more affordable price.


  • What are the types of concentrates? (RSO vs shatter vs badder vs kief vs sugar wax vs sauce)

    Cannabis concentrates come in many forms, each with its own texture, potency, and use:


    • RSO (Rick Simpson Oil): A full-spectrum, thick, dark oil usually consumed orally or topically for therapeutic use.
    • Shatter: A glass-like, brittle extract known for its high potency and purity.
    • Badder/Budder: A soft, whipped consistency that’s easy to dab, with strong aroma and flavor.
    • Kief: Powdery trichomes collected from cannabis flower, typically sprinkled on bowls or joints.
    • Sugar Wax: Crystalline and sticky, with a texture like wet sugar and strong terpene content.
    • Sauce: A mix of THCa crystals and terpene-rich liquid, delivering bold flavor and effects.

  • What is an infused pre-roll?

    An infused pre-roll is a joint that contains not only ground cannabis flower but also added concentrates like hash, wax, or oil. These products are typically more potent than regular pre-rolls and are made for users seeking a stronger, longer-lasting effect.


  • How should I store cannabis to keep it fresh?

    Store cannabis in a cool, dark place in an airtight glass container. Avoid plastic bags and exposure to light or heat to preserve potency, flavor, and moisture.


  • Can I build a tolerance to cannabis?

    Yes, regular cannabis use can lead to tolerance, meaning you may need more to feel the same effects. Taking short breaks can help reset your sensitivity.

  • How long do edibles take to kick in?

    Cannabis edibles typically take 30–90 minutes to kick in, with effects peaking at 2–4 hours. Always start low and go slow when dosing edibles.


  • How long does a cannabis high last?

    The duration of a cannabis high depends on how it’s consumed. When inhaled (through smoking flower, vaping, or using concentrates) the effects typically last 1 to 3 hours. Edibles, on the other hand, can produce a high that lasts 4 to 8 hours or more, depending on the dose, product type, and individual tolerance
