Buying weed on the Apple App Store is getting way easier — and even more competitive.
The Apothecarium, a new app on the Apple App Store, lets users in New Jersey and California place orders for pickup for their dispensaries. And, if you live in California, you can get it delivered from The Apothecarium Capitola store in Santa Cruz county. In a press release, the company said it would expand availability of the app to other states that have Apothecarium locations in the coming weeks.
Also on the Apothecarium app, you can access a live chat, order tracking, and search functions to match you with what products you might want. In California, you can pay through the app, too. Of course, all sales have to be made by consumers over 21 years old.
The app comes from TerrAscend, a cannabis operator in North American that owns a number of cannabis brands, including Gage Cannabis, Ilera Healthcare, Kind Tree, Prism, State Flower, Valhalla Confections, and Arise Bioscience Inc.
This comes less than a year after Apple began allowing weed delivery service apps on its platform. Eaze was the first delivery service app, which launched just in California over the summer.
“It’s hard to overstate how important this is to our company and the industry,” Eaze CEO Rogelio Choy said in a statement at the time. “It’s deeply gratifying to launch the Apple Store’s first fully-functional cannabis delivery app.”
Since then, other cannabis delivery services joined the App Store including Beta, Caliva, Amuse, WeedMaps, and, now, the Apothecarium, too.
