If you live in Canada, love weed, and hate lines, then boy-oh-boy do we have the story for you. Uber is partnering with a Canadian cannabis retailer to allow customers in Ontario to order cannabis products through Uber Eats.
You can’t order special gummies as a side with your chicken parm just yet, though: It’s pickup only for now, with orders ready to be retrieved within the hour they’re placed in the Uber Eats app. Toronto-based Tokyo Smoke, which operates more than 50 dispensaries in Ontario, is handling the sales.
The move marks Uber’s first entry into the marijuana business. In October, the company closed its acquisition of alcohol delivery app Drizly for $1.1 billion, though Drizly’s cannabis delivery service, Lantern, wasn’t part of the deal.
This business process is nothing new. Back in the 80’s when deliveries started to boom, one could occasionally “shop” for items via their local pizza delivery folks! Everyone had a Spicoli like delivery man in the 80s!
(snicker snicker)
In America you can Buy Weed in the Capital Congress building !!!!! LOL LOL
My supplier has a phone app and a menu with pictures and descriptions of the different highs and ratings from other customers and delivers to the door on his BMW motorcycle dressed like Boba Fett. It’s nothing new. Proffers links to healthy delivery munchie options aswell.
