Maybe I'm missing something, but why are X delivery companies a thing? Why not have just a delivery company? This is a case where I can't even think of any special handling being required, but I wouldn't be a customer so may be ignorant to something.
Believe it or not, marijuana has significant medical use, and a lot of its potential patients are mobility impaired.

In the case of Eaze it's delivery for a market with a very unique regulatory and logistical nature. As opposed to say, food.
Food essentially requires its own supply chain and has its own health regulations. Consumer preferences for food shopping also seem to be distinctly different from preferences on other classes of products.

Of course… Many types of delivery companies already exists for specific needs. Shipping companies like UPS or the post office aren't going to bring you a pizza or deliver a shed into your backyard.

Having said that, UPS and Fedex, etc are delivery companies. I assume this company is promoting same day delivery, otherwise, why not just use a shipping company.

Not sure I really buy this reasoning for the rise in cannabis startups; if you follow the logic, it should bring you to "prescription drug delivery" pretty quickly, and yet the focus is all on weed.
The main reason I think is that pharmacies are a major part of drugstores and are easily accessible whereas municipalities are free to say "I don't want any dispensaries here" so there is a vacuum of availability for many people. driving to the corner pharmacy or taking a short subway to the pharmacy is different than making a cross town trip to get the medication you need.

#29Why would (largest regional pharmacy retailer) supply chain not be able to win this market? Already has all those hard assets in place with ops, people, efficiencies, etc.

#30There's something really disturbing about this given the fact that people are still rotting in jail in this country for selling a dime bag in the 90's. The time for federal prohibition to come to an end is far overdue.
Those people should not be in jail, and eaze is doing well to raise money. The former does not make the latter disturbing.
