Instead of Uber drivers, store employees will handle the pickup. Residents of Toronto who are 19 years old or older can now legally purchase marijuana on demand through the app.
“This is the first time marijuana delivery has been available on a third-party food ordering platform like Uber Eats,” Leafly stated.
According to the weed company, this collaboration will benefit the fight against the illegal marijuana market and the promotion of safe driving.
“Leafly has been empowering the cannabis marketplace in Canada for more than four years, and we support more than 200 cannabis retailers in the GTA. We are thrilled to work with Uber Eats to help licensed retailers bring safe, legal cannabis to people across the city,” Leafly CEO Yoko Miyashita stated.
Customers must be 19 years of age or older to place orders on the Uber Eats app, which stores can receive and respond to using Leafly’s software.
The shops will then deploy employees who have completed Ontario’s CannSell cannabis retail education program to deliver purchases to customers whose ages and sobriety are verified at the time of delivery, according to the announcement.
