Despite the fact that several nations have legalized marijuana and other narcotics, the issue is still up for debate on a global scale. One of the nations that have made the use of cannabis both medically and recreationally legal is Canada. However, if you’re having trouble getting cannabis in Canada, Uber will now bring it right to your door. Cannabis will now be delivered in Toronto via the food delivery service Uber Eats.

Uber Eats has partnered with Leafly, a Canadian cannabis marketplace, to facilitate the purchase of cannabis. The company claims its cannabis delivery service is a world first for “a major third-party delivery platform.” Since November of last year, residents of Ontario have been able to order weed using the Uber Eats delivery platform but they had to get out of their houses and visit a store to pick it up.
The Uber Eats app will allow people aged 19 or above to order marijuana just like they would order food from a restaurant. Although Uber Eats will notify you of the legal age before you place the purchase, the upfront cost of marijuana will be displayed on the app. Also Read | Amazon Prime And Uber Partnership: How To Book UberPremier For The Price Of UberGo
The cannabis will be delivered by employees of the retailer, not by an independent driver. In accordance with Canadian law, anybody supplying legal marijuana must confirm the customer’s age and sobriety. Three retailers will start the program including Shivaa’s Rose, Minerva Cannabis, and Hidden Leaf Cannabis. The order is then processed by the company and delivered by a dispensary employee certified by CannSell, a training, and certification program required in the province of Ontario.
While Uber Eats has introduced home delivery of weed in the city of Toronto, locals still have alternative choices. For example, Leafly’s platform’s merchants already deliver cannabis to your doorstep within 45 minutes. However, Uber Eats can deliver weed faster in certain areas than Leafly’s service.
