> this seems very arbitrary It's not arbitrary at all. The only options remaining are 1) walking (totally impractical); and 2) driving a registered vehicle on public roads that are easy to spy on -- see e.g. http://gizmodo.com/feds-are-spying-on-millions-of-cars-with-license-plate-1682016561 http://gizmodo.com/feds-are-spying-on-millions-of-cars-with-... This keeps marijuana inside state boundaries.

Why the ban on human powered vehicles? Sounds bad for the environment on the surface.

  Cause you can pretty easily bike, with a big trailer of drugs, from one border town to another.

So dogsleds are horses ok? "It's like Uber for Marijuana by Pony!"

  Nope. "in person by enclosed motor vehicle" only. And the vehicle needs GPS monitoring. Again, the goal is to make sure that legal marijuana delivery operations are demonstrably not moving legally grown California marijuana across state borders. To avoid federal involvement.

      I'm not sure if that would count as "enclosed".

        How about delivering marijuana by Mystery Machine? http://scoobydoo.wikia.com/wiki/Mystery_Machine http://scoobydoo.wikia.com/wiki/Mystery_Machine The Mystery Machine has the uncanny ability to adapt to any given situation (and the conveniently packed items that might be needed in any given situation): The back is filled with various equipments (ladder, lanterns, and ropes). A bench running longwise can be stored in the rear of the van. Also, the back can fit a table and chairs, plus the walls are lined with computer equipment; a large antenna can be attached on the roof. Another time a table is included, the walls are lined with kitchen cabinets.
