Uber will let users in Ontario order weed — but you have to go and pick it up
  • Uber Eats will let users in Ontario, Canada, order weed from November 29.
  • Users will only be able to order for pick-up — they won't be able to get weed delivered by Uber.

Uber is tapping into the $4 for the first time.

A company spokesperson told $4 on Monday that $4 users in Ontario, Canada, would be able to order cannabis from its new partner Tokyo Smoke starting Monday, November 29.

Users cannot have the weed delivered, however. They will only be able to place orders for pick-up, Uber Eats' head of communications for delivery, Meghan Casserly, confirmed to $4.

An Uber spokesperson told Insider this is because laws in Ontario preclude third party delivery of cannabis.

Uber CEO $4 said in April that the company would $4 if cannabis were decriminalized at a federal level.

Canada $4 in 2018.

When asked whether Uber was considering expanding weed operations beyond Ontario, a spokesperson told Reuters: "We will continue to watch regulations and opportunities closely market by market. And as local and federal laws evolve, we will explore opportunities with merchants who operate in other regions."
