Vireo Begins Free, Same-Day Marijuana Delivery Service in NYC

Vireo Health of New York, a subsidiary of Vireo Health International (OTCMKTS:VREOF), has launched free and same-day marijuana delivery in New York City.

Patients living in the New York City metro area, Westchester County, and Nassau County now can use the free and same-day marijuana delivery, the company said in a statement.

“Our same-day home delivery service is designed to match the convenience that New Yorkers have become accustomed to in the era of Amazon, Uber and Seamless,” Founder and CEO Kyle Kingsley said in a statement. “The growing popularity of our home delivery service has allowed us to achieve the economies of scale necessary to offer same-day delivery throughout the Greater New York City area.”

Launched in April 2017, Vireo’s medical marijuana home delivery service has rapidly expanded. Since its launch, the company has made more than 25,000 home deliveries to patients.

Patients who place orders by 12:00 p.m. EDT will be eligible to receive free same-day delivery. Payment for deliveries can be made using CanPay, a cannabis debit payment app available on iPhone and Android devices, according to the company.

Vireo cultivates cannabis in environmentally friendly greenhouses, manufactures pharmaceutical-grade cannabis extracts, and sells its products at both company-owned and third-party dispensaries. The company currently is licensed in eleven markets including Arizona, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, and Rhode Island.
