Starting April 18, British Columbians can order safe, legal cannabis and get it delivered straight to their homes thanks to a partnership between Uber Eats, a subsidiary of Uber Technologies, Inc.UBER and Leafly LFLY. British Columbians 19+ can place orders from local licensed cannabis retailers in the Uber Eats app, and have it delivered to their door by the retailer's provincially certified staff.
"Leafly has been empowering the cannabis marketplace in Canada for more than four years and we support more than 850 cannabis retailers in British Columbia. We are thrilled to work with Uber Eats to help licensed retailers bring safe, legal cannabis to people across the province," stated Yoko Miyashita, CEO of Leafly.
Aaron Sinnathamby, CEO of ARCannabis, stated: "Our focus at ARCannabis has always been to bring the best cannabis experience to our customers. This partnership will help us expand and reach even more people in Vancouver. Just like the in-store experience, our provincially certified delivery staff understand and comply with local regulations around cannabis transactions, including checking ID."
Recent research from Public First shows that some cannabis users drive after consumption with 1 in 7 (14%) of cannabis users admitting to having driven a vehicle within 2 hours of consuming cannabis. Delivery options like those available through Uber Eats are expected to help decrease impaired driving and improve safety on the road.
The first cannabis retailers on the platform in British Columbia are:
-
Sea to Sky, Vancouver

Original Farm Cannabis, three locations in Vancouver and Victoria
-
Leisure For Cannabis, Vancouver
-
ARCannabis, four locations in Vancouver
-
