Uber Eats Delivers Weed In A Third Canadian Province, General Manager Says This Will 'Improve Road Safety'
Starting this week, residents of Alberta, Canada can have their cannabis products delivered to their homes by Uber Eats, a subsidiary of Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER). To make this happen, Uber once again partnered with marijuana website Leafly (NASDAQ:LFLY).
加拿大阿爾伯塔居民從本週開始可以通過Uber Eats（Uber Technologies，Inc.（NYSE: UBER）的子公司）將大麻產品送到家中。爲此，Uber再次與大麻網站Leafly（NASDAQ：LFLY）合作。
"It's awesome news actually, it seems like it has gone a far long way now," one potential recipient told City News.
一位潛在的收件人告訴City News：“這真是個好消息，似乎它已經走過了很長一段路。”
Alberta Gaming Liquor and Cannabis explained that under the law, store employees must deliver marijuana products, not just regular Uber drivers and customers must prove with proper ID that they are of legal age upon delivery.
艾伯塔省遊戲，酒類和大麻解釋說，在法律下，商店的員工必須交付大麻製品，而不僅僅是普通的Uber司機和顧客必須在交付時出示適當的身份證明，證明他們已經達到合法年齡。
"The main thing is making sure that the local cannabis retailer has provincially certified staff who can deliver cannabis safely to someone's house. It's not delivery people that would deliver your food from a restaurant but this will be provincially certified staff," said Keerthana Rang, a spokesperson for UBER Canada.
“最重要的是要確保當地的大麻零售商有省認證的員工，可以安全地向某人的家交付大麻。這不是從餐廳交付您的食物的交付人員，而是省認證的員工，”UBER加拿大的發言人Keerthana Rang 表示。

提高道路安全
In 2022, Uber Eats started delivering cannabis in Toronto then expanded to British Columbia in 2023. This makes Alberta the third province in Canada to allow cannabis deliveries through Uber Eats, and many Albertans are surprised by how long it took for this service to become available in their province.
2022年，Uber Eats開始在多倫多送貨，並於2023年擴展到不列顛哥倫比亞省。這使得艾伯塔成爲允許通過Uber Eats交付大麻的加拿大第三個省，許多艾伯塔人對此服務何時在省內可用感到驚訝。
"More Albertans are accessing legal cannabis than ever before. We are partnering with industry leaders like Leafly to help retailers offer safe, convenient options for people in Alberta to purchase legal cannabis for delivery directly to their homes. This will help reduce impaired driving and improve road safety," stated Klaas Knieriem, general manager of grocery and retail for Uber Eats in Canada. "Over the last few years, we have invested heavily in our delivery offering and selection has expanded tremendously. Uber Eats has grown quickly to become a versatile platform usable by diverse businesses large and small."
“越來越多的艾伯塔人正在接觸合法的大麻。我們正在與Leafly等行業領軍企業合作，幫助零售商爲阿爾伯塔人提供安全、便捷的購買合法大麻直接送貨到他們家的選擇。這將有助於減少酒後駕車和提高道路安全，”Uber Eats在加拿大的食品和零售總經理Klaas Knieriem表示。“在過去幾年中，我們大力投資於我們的交付服務，選擇已經大大擴展。 Uber Eats已迅速成長爲大型和小型多樣化企業可用的多功能平台。”
The first cannabis retailers on the platform in Alberta are Dank Cannabis, Ogden Cannabis, Oil & Grass Cannabis, and Oakridge Cannabis in Calgary and NUMO Cannabis in Edmonton.
艾伯塔省平台上的第一批大麻零售商是卡爾加里的Dank Cannabis，Ogden Cannabis，Oil＆Grass Cannabis和Oakridge Cannabis以及埃德蒙頓的NUMO Cannabis。
"We are thrilled to continue our work with Uber Eats to help licensed retailers bring safe, legal cannabis to people across Canada," said Yoko Miyashita, CEO of Leafly. "Leafly has been empowering Canada's cannabis marketplace for more than five years and it is exciting to expand this partnership to Alberta and help licensed cannabis retailers grow their businesses."
“我們很高興能夠繼續與Uber Eats合作，幫助持牌零售商向加拿大各地的人們提供安全、合法的大麻，”Leafly的首席執行官Yoko Miyashita表示。“Leafly已經爲加拿大的大麻市場賦能了五年多，將這種合作擴展到艾伯塔，幫助持牌的大麻零售商增長業務，真是令人興奮。”
