DoorDash brings you THC

DoorDash has announced that they will be delivering Hemp THC and CBD!

In exciting news for all the busy or lazy people out there, DoorDash brings you THC. Yes, the popular food delivery platform has expanded its offerings to include hemp products in select markets, marking a significant shift in the on-demand delivery landscape. Starting January 9, 2025, adult customers can now order a variety of hemp-derived THC and CBD products directly to their home. Hemp is becoming increasingly popular and is increasingly appearing in liquor and convenience stores.

This new category includes items such as gummies, drinks, mints, chocolate and honey sticks, all of which contain no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. The move comes in response to growing consumer demand for these products, with nearly 75% of adults ages 21 to 65 considering incorporating THC/CBD products into their routine for relaxation and stress relief.

To access these products, eligible customers can simply select the CBD/THC tab in the DoorDash app, where they can browse and order a selection of hemp-derived beverages, topicals and edibles.

The company has implemented several security measures, including electronic identity verification, to ensure that only customers of legal age can purchase these products. DoorDash offers these products through various channels, including its own fulfillment platform DashMart, as well as partnerships with retailers such as Total Wine & More and ABC Fine Wine & Spirits. This expansion allows DoorDash to tap into a growing market while providing consumers with convenient access to the products they want to relax and enjoy.

This move by DoorDash reflects a broader trend in the delivery industry as companies explore new product categories to meet changing consumer preferences. However, it is important to understand that these products have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration for safety or effectiveness.

As the market for hemp-derived products continues to grow, DoorDash's entry into this space could potentially reshape the landscape of on-demand delivery services. It remains to be seen how this new offering will impact the company's business and consumer behavior in the long term.

It's important to note that while DoorDash is expanding into hemp products, it does not deliver marijuana. The company operates within the legal framework of the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized hemp-derived products containing no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. Several major marijuana beverage and edibles manufacturers such as Wana Brands have launched hemp products to expand their lineup and make them available in most states.
