Food-delivery giant plans to deliver cannabis in Vancouver
British Columbian cannabis shoppers will have another legal platform to help them get their weed starting tomorrow, when food-delivery giant Uber Eats adds cannabis to its menu.
Industry insiders who spoke with BIV said they are wary and that the development is a double-edged sword: it may help some retailers sell products to customers that they would otherwise not find, but Uber Eats is likely to claim much of the profit margin. DoorDash Inc. last spring launched a partnership with a Toronto cannabis retailer to offer cannabis delivery in that city. It does not yet facilitate cannabis deliveries in B.C.
Retail Cannabis Council of BC's executive director Jaclynn Pehota told BIV that she hopes the move does not encourage Uber Eats customers to search for the lowest cost products that have the highest concentrations of THC.
