Uber Eats will not be deploying independent drivers to deliver the marijuana. But, the retailer staff from the stores will be delivering them to the customers. Further, the customers’ legal age will also be verified according to Canadian law, before the marijuana is delivered to them. Currently, three marijuana retailers have registered with Uber Eats to make marijuana deliveries. Earlier, Uber Eats had partnered with another retailer in Ontario, wherein the customers had to make the pick-up themselves and no such doorstep delivery would take place.

As per the business owners, the doorstep delivery system will ensure that there is legal consumption taking place. And, such a system, will also help in the safe and convenient way of consuming marijuana. Leafly has been in the marijuana market for over four years, as per the statement of its CEO. The CEO also expressed that such a partnership with Uber Eats is going to benefit the system of marijuana consumption and he is thrilled about it. As of now, three retailers have been included in this programme of legal marijuana delivery with Uber Eats in Canadian households — Shivaa’s Rose, Minerva Cannabis and Hidden Leaf Cannabis.
