Eaze Delivers: California Firm Brings Cannabis to Your Doorstep

Eaze’s “Chief Cannabis Evangelist,” Jason Pinsky (Photo by Tommy Quicksilver)

If you’ve ever ordered a car from Uber or a book from Amazon, navigating your delivery of a pack of Lowell Smokes from Eaze is a no-brainer for anyone with a smartphone, as I found out recently.

Just go to Eaze.com, set up a user name and password, take a photo of your California driver’s license (or registered ID) to prove you’re 21, submit credit card information and you’re off to the races.

The Eaze menu is clean and uncluttered, with a wide variety of flower, pre-rolls, tinctures and oils, all from least expensive to most, left to right. Like any other commerce site, you add items to your cart, then check out. Any purchase over $50 has no delivery fee; anything less carries a charge of $5.

The prices are competitive with licensed brick-and-mortar dispensaries, though the addition of the required 9.5% sales and statewide 15% excise taxes pushes the total of my two Biscotti Singoli hash-infused pre-rolls ($40) and one LoudPack Kosher Kush preroll ($12) to $69.86 with the $17.86 surcharge.

EAZE’S JASON PINSKY: “If Amazon and Lyft were to smoke a joint and have a baby, it would be Eaze.”

The Eaze interface lets you know how long it’s going to take, with the steps to delivery checked off, in turn: “order received,” “order is being prepared,” “driver is on the way” and “order is arriving,” with the courier texting the progress along the way until they’re at your front door.

With the company’s boast of a 15- to 20-minute delivery, I was a little disheartened when it showed a wait time of 48 to 56 minutes, but I suppose that’s what you get when you order at 4:30 p.m. smack in the middle of L.A. rush hour. I imagine it’s a lot different in a Sacramento suburb on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Still, my Eaze courier arrived at precisely the moment the clock struck zero. I buzzed him up on my apartment intercom and had three pre-rolls in my hand in a compliant, child-proof package after signing my name on his iPhone. And while there was no room for a tip, I gave the guy $10 in cash. My deliverer seemed genuinely grateful.

Welcome to the Brave, New World of Pot Deliveries

California’s come a long way from the bicycle-riding pot delivery service depicted in HBO’s High Maintenance. Thanks to Eaze and other services, that dream is now a reality, at least in Cali. The San Francisco-based company was founded in 2014 by since-departed tech entrepreneur Keith McCarty, who used the money from selling start-up Yammer, a social media enterprise, to Microsoft for $1.2 billion.

McCarty, a Christian conservative from Orange County who doesn’t partake himself, was looking for a business for his on-demand technology. McCarty, who has since been replaced as CEO by his Yammer colleague Jim Patterson, was intent on getting medical marijuana patients—at the time, the only ones who could legally consume—their required medicine without any hassles.

Just use the Eaze app on your photo for canna-deliveries.

With adult use now legal in California and eight other states at press time, Eaze has grown exponentially, adding offices in Venice and San Diego and affiliations with 12 individual licensed dispensary warehouses in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose, Napa and Santa Rosa. Those individual distribution centers, most of them not connected to a dispensary, in turn employ upwards of 1,000 drivers (with W2s and on payroll) all connected by Eaze’s licensed software. Many of the cars are stocked with a variety of securely packaged, child-proof exit bags in complete compliance with regulations.

“If Amazon and Lyft were to smoke a joint and have a baby, it would be Eaze,” Jason Pinsky, a longtime hemp activist dubbed the company’s “Chief Cannabis Evangelist,” tells Freedom Leaf. His job, he explains, is to “create media that educates and inspires.”

Marijuana delivery services are nothing new. Companies like Postmates make cannabis deliveries, but they involve third-parties and often take more than an hour. Many dispensaries offer their own delivery, frequently with white-label (nonbranded) partners.

DR. DINA BROWNER: “One day soon we’ll have more cannabis delivery drivers on the road than Domino’s Pizza.”

When Eaze tried to provide their back-end technology to local LA dispensaries, the company received mostly a cold shoulder. “Why should I share my customer base with them?” wonders one high-profile dispensary owner who preferred to be anonymous for this article. “I’m trying to brand my own store, plus they’re getting all my data.”

With more companies receiving licenses from the state for delivery, there’s been pushback. In October, several San Diego weed couriers were busted for not having proper licenses, including Leaf Life, with 50 pounds of product and $2,500 seized, and Fast Grass, where 30 pounds of weed was taken, along with four pounds of meth and $1,800 in cash. Since the beginning of the year through September in Los Angeles alone, 515 people were arrested, representing 101 illegal delivery services. There’s been a great deal of pressure from a coalition of police, city governments and retail dispensaries on the California Bureau of Cannabis Control to ban deliveries altogether.

Meanwhile, Eaze has taken a page from its founder’s idealism regarding cannabis’ effects on health and well-being. “This is a medicine,” says Eaze’s Director of Consumer Communications Sheena Shiravi, who joined the company three years ago. “We want patients to get it discretely, professionally and in a comfortable environment. It’s all about ‘Eaze’ of use.”

Eaze also offers clients—distributors and brands—the benefits of its expertise on compliance and the regulations for each local area. “We’re the policy-maker’s trusted credible friends,” Shiravi adds. “We work with them to offer safe access for consumers with the most seamless technology.” Distributors pay an annual licensing fee for Eaze’s technology based on their size and traffic.

There’s been a great deal of pressure from a coalition of police, city governments and retail dispensaries on the California Bureau of Cannabis Control to ban marijuana deliveries altogether.

Shiravi points to Eaze Insights—a database that provides valuable information on consumer behavior—and a three-pillar plan that addresses economic empowerment, social outreach and community sustainability in association with companies like The Hood Incubator and Success Center in the San Francisco Bay Area, which target those who’ve been most negatively impacted by the War on Drugs. The goal is to train people for entrepreneurial roles within the emerging cannabis economy.

EazeMD was launched to help patients secure medical cards by connecting them with doctors via an online video chat. Eaze has also been active in compassionate-care initiatives by calling on brands to donate products, as well as supporting local political agendas, including the expungement of criminal records for marijuana-related offenses.

In California, cannabis delivery is here to stay. Whether Eaze will turn out to be the dominant player remains to be seen, but they’re the most high-profile entry so far, complete with $52 million raised from investors since its start-up, including Series A funding from the Snoop Dogg-backed Casa Verde Capital, as well as the likes of Bailey Capital, DCM Ventures, Kaya Ventures and FJ Labs. According to Forbes, Eaze is “the highest-funded start-up in the history of the cannabis industry, as well as the fastest-growing one,” with 300% growth in 2017 from the previous year. Last year, the company reported it had performed 120,000 deliveries per month to 250,000 users.

“One day soon we’ll have more cannabis delivery drivers on the road than Domino’s Pizza,” predicts dispensary owner Dr. Dina Browner, who owns Alternative Herbal Health Services in West Hollywood. Now if only they’d fix the potholes, too.

420 Evaluations: Complete Your MMJ Evaluation Online Today!

This post is sponsored by NuggMD, the easy way to do your 420 evaluation online! Complete your evaluation in 10 minutes, get your MMJ card today!

Do you think medical marijuana could bring you a greater quality of life? Millions of people just like you in California think so and already have access to the splendors of our medical cannabis industry because they have their medical cannabis card.

Why don’t you?

In this post, we’ll tell you all about a cheap, fast and safe way to get your doctor’s recommendation for medical marijuana and have cannabis delivered to your door in under an hour—and it all starts with your 420 evaluation.

Click here to complete your 420 evaluation and get your medical marijuana card ONLINE in about 10 minutes from the comfort of your own home (seriously).

Plenty of Californians wonder everyday how to get a medical marijuana card and gain legal access to some of the country’s finest medical cannabis. Many think it’s a difficult process, or that they won’t qualify, or that they’ll be found on some kind of government list, but the reality is that almost anyone can get approved for medical cannabis.

So, let’s dive in.

How Do 420 Evaluations Work?

All physicians, osteopaths and surgeons licensed to practice medicine in California can recommend marijuana for a patient with applicable medical conditions. These conditions include (but are not limited to) cancer, chronic pain, glaucoma, spasticity, arthritis, AIDS, seizures, migraines, nausea or “any illness for which marijuana provides relief.” While that last part sounds really open-ended, it is meant to include conditions at the doctor’s discretion like PTSD, insomnia and depression to name a few.

The term “medical marijuana card” is a bit of a misnomer as the card is not required; however, a valid doctor’s recommendation is. Your first step to acquiring one is to be evaluated for medical marijuana, hence the term “420 Evaluation,” by a California board-licensed doctor to see if this wondrous plant could help manage your medical condition.

After receiving your recommendation letter, you can freely partake in the California cannabis market with that alone, or get a medical marijuana card for extra identification (it has its benefits and drawbacks, which we’ll get to shortly). Either way, you are now welcomed into California’s wide world of legal weed!

So, how do you conduct your first 420 evaluation? It ranges from easier than you think to super-duper easy.

In-person MMJ Evaluation

If your primary doctor is pro-weed, you may be able to visit him or her for your medical cannabis evaluation. If he or she decides cannabis is right for you, all you need is for your doctor to write a recommendation. If you aren’t totally cool with going to your primary doc for your medical marijuana recommendation, there are plenty of medical marijuana doctors in California who can help you out.

While you can find a way to complete your MMJ evaluation almost anywhere, from 420 evaluations in San Jose, Oakland, Santa Cruz and Sacramento, to ones all the way down in Los Angeles and San Diego, but visiting an in-person pot doc is notoriously a bit shady. More often than not, it’ll require you to hang out in areas you may feel less than safe, and based on patient consensus, you should plan to make an appointment ahead of time and to spend more time and money than you initially expected.

Another unfortunate truth is that you usually don’t get to spend a lot of time with the doctor via this method, since they often see a high-volume of patients each day and are in a rush to filter people in and out. You may even leave with more questions than you came in with, but the section below provides a better alternative.

Online MMJ Evaluation

Many Californians skip the road trip and instead do their 420 evaluation online. It’s by far the easiest and quickest way to consult with a cannabis doctor for your medical marijuana evaluation. Sound too easy?

It’s not only easy and safe, it’s also completely legal according to the Golden State’s telehealth laws. Just find a reputable online 420 Evaluation site (we recommend one in the next section), enter your info, talk to a compassionate pro-cannabis doctor and get your recommendation without leaving your couch. No surprise costs, and you’re usually done in 10-15 minutes.

Introducing the Fastest, Cheapest Way to Complete Your 420 Evaluation Online

While we don’t want to seem like we’re playing favorites, NuggMD has made getting an online 420 evaluation an art. Their customer service reps are always excited to answer your questions at any time (conveniently through a live-chat feature on their website), and their doctors are helpful and knowledgeable on the medical uses of cannabis.

Plus, the company makes it possible to start your compassionate cannabis care right away once approved, by means of connecting you with reliable marijuana dispensaries nearby after your evaluation, not to mention a free $20 credit to place a delivery order online!

Regarding their online process, there’s absolutely nothing to fear, as all your patient information is stored securely in a HIPAA compliant and encrypted database, so you won’t be found out on any public record or database (sheeeww…so glad Aunt Mildred won’t be able to snoop!). So there’s no need to worry about your data, and the company also promises secure credit transactions through its site.

Here are the exact steps to spending less time and money getting your California medical marijuana card:

1. Create an account at NuggMD.com with your laptop, desktop, tablet or smartphone (or any other internet-connected device). 2. Fill out a short, three-step profile with your basics and vitals. First, you’ll provide basics like name, birthdate and address. Then in step two, you’re asked to describe your medical conditions in better detail through a short questionnaire, so that the doctor may learn how to best educate you on how medical marijuana may benefit your overall health and wellbeing. 3. Finally, you set up payment information which qualifies you to go mono y mono via video-chat with a 420-friendly doctor for about five to 10 minutes to complete your 420 evaluation. How easy? So easy! 4. If you’re approved for a cannabis recommendation, NuggMD members pay just $39 total, which is the cheapest online price we’ve come across yet. Your evaluation is completely free if you aren’t approved.

Bonus: If you use NuggMD to complete your 420 evaluation, you’ll also be credited $20 to order online marijuana delivery from a dispensary near you!

5. After approval, just wait a few days for the signed and embossed medical marijuana card to be shipped (in discreet packaging) to your address! 6. Since no one likes waiting, you are also sent a digital PDF version of your recommendation to print out for immediate use. 7. The recommendation letter arrives in the mail a few days later. 8. Get a cannabis ID card (and additional peace of mind) for an additional $20—only if you want to, since the letter of recommendation will work just fine and is technically all you need.

Your recommendation letter will be good for one year, after which you’re required by California law to get a medical marijuana card renewal, which should be the same quick and easy evaluation process every time.

I’ve Got My Medical Marijuana Card, What Now?

I’ve got my card in hand and money burning a hole in my pocket (at least for now that’s all that’s burning!); how do I take herb-vantage of my weed card?

Storefront Dispensary

Head out with a smile on your face to a local, licensed dispensary for some of the good stuff. It’s always a good idea to check out the ratings ahead of time on Yelp or through Getnugg.com. Storefronts are great for a little one-on-one attention if you have special questions, are looking for product recommendations, or if you want to see what new goodies are out on the market. Be sure to remember your recommendation letter and California driver’s license (or other form of identification) when you venture out!

Delivery Service

Order a bit of Purple Erkle for your migraine and a pizza for the munchies that follow! Delivery is big business in MMJ! If you are the fidgety-nervous type (especially you newbies), this may be the best way to kick-off your inaugural purchase. And if you like to order in (like everyone in today’s world of instant gratification), this is online shopping at its best!

Here’s the beauty of Nugg, which lets you order delivery from a variety of cannabis providers in your area. Users not only get to rate and read reviews about dispensaries but also earn special 420 evaluations coupons, discounts, see special deals dispensaries are running and order straight from the site. Seriously, there are more free-with-purchase offers than you can shake some shake at! You can order up to 28 grams per delivery, and Nugg works with dispensaries in over 80 California cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Sacramento.

How to Use Nugg:

1. Sign up for Nugg at http://ift.tt/25lxJWh 2. Get a $20 credit if you signup with the code HIGHTIMES. 3. Go online and start shopping in your area! 4. Place your order and wait for your friendly delivery person to arrive with your medical marijuana.
