The online food and grocery ordering tech company DoorDash announced on Thursday it has expanded its services to include on-demand delivery of hemp-derived THC and CBD products. DoorDash users in areas where the hemp products are available should now see a CBD/THC tab in the company’s app.
The company utilizes ID verification technology and protocols developed for its alcohol delivery services to ensure customers are of legal age.
Jacob Morello, the director and general manager of Alcohol and Emerging Categories at DoorDash, said the expansion aims to satisfy the growing demand for hemp-derived cannabinoid products across the country.
“With the growing demand for hemp-derived THC and CBD products, we’re excited to expand access to a wide selection of products consumers crave. As preferences evolve, DoorDash can now help eligible customers find new products to safely enjoy while they unwind and recharge in the new year.” — Morello, in a statement
The most popular hemp products ordered during the pilot phase of DoorDash’s new business model included gummies, beverages, mints, chocolates, and honey sticks, the company said.
