Patients must have a medical marijuana registration card and a photo ID. In Good Health also requires a minimum order of $100.Noble told The Enterprise that his company has been working with the state Department of Public Health over the past several months to develop secure delivery protocols and review other aspects of the service.Each delivery truck will be tracked by GPS, watched with surveillance video and occupied by two employees, Noble told the newspaper. Delivery fees will range from $30 to $70 based on the distance from their location at 1200 W. Chestnut St. in Brockton. Only the island communities of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket will be exempted from the delivery service.In Good Health will also establish a loyalty program and offer new patients an introductory discount, Noble said.
