In the wake of a new wave of legalization sweeping across America, Uber has entered into an unlikely business partnership with leading cannabis company Eaze.
Uber Eats is a food delivery service that is currently available in more than 200 cities in the United States. With the recent announcement of their entry into the cannabis market, UberEats has become one of the most popular food delivery services.
Uber Eats, an online meal ordering service, has announced a collaboration with Tokyo Smoke, a network of dispensaries in Ontario, Canada. On Monday, people of legal age in Ontario will be able to buy cannabis from Tokyo Smoke via the Uber Eats platform.
Tokyo Smoke’s goods are now available in a new “cannabis” area of the Uber Eats marketplace. Customers may order using the Uber Eats app, but they must pick up their orders from a Tokyo Smoke location. Upon arrival, customers will be requested to provide a valid ID. Despite the absence of delivery, the option to pre-order cannabis from a dispensary saves users time.
“We’re building an unique end-to-end experience for responsible cannabis purchasing throughout the province by combining a simplified ordering process via the Uber Eats app with Tokyo Smoke’s in-person pickup service,” said Lola Kassim, general manager of Uber Eats Canada.
The deal, according to the New York Post, represents Uber’s formal entrance into the cannabis sector, a move that the company’s CEO has long hinted at. Uber Eats’ liquor delivery service is currently operational in both the United States and Canada, but the business is awaiting regulatory reforms in the United States before launching online cannabis ordering in the states. While Canada was one of the first countries to legalize recreational cannabis in 2018, it is still prohibited in the United States.
Tokyo Smoke is owned by Canopy Growth, a cannabis corporation with roughly 50 locations throughout Ontario, including one in Windsor, which is close to Detroit, Michigan.
