How to Be a Weedmaps Delivery Driver
At this time, there is no way to be a delivery driver directly for Weedmaps.
Unlike other delivery services like UberEats and Instacart, Weedmaps delivery drivers don’t work for Weedmaps.
Many dispensaries offer their own delivery services that Weedmaps essentially connects you with.
Cannabis dispensaries regularly have open positions for new drivers.
You may not be able to do freelance delivery from every dispensary in town, but applying to dispensaries listed on Weedmaps is the only way to deliver Weedmaps orders, assuming you meet the requirements.
Requirements
Dispensaries require that all employees be over the age of 21.
In addition, delivery drivers must have a valid driver’s license from the state the dispensary is in and have a clean driving record.
Other specific regulations and requirements often vary based on state and local laws.
Most states require that cannabis delivery vehicles meet specific security protocols, such as an enclosed trunk and an operational alarm.
Some dispensaries have responded to this by issuing their own delivery vehicles.
Other dispensaries require that delivery drivers provide their own cars that meet the state’s standards for cannabis delivery and are thoroughly insured.
Since the sale of cannabis is taken incredibly seriously from a legal standpoint, most cannabis dispensaries are highly exclusive with their candidates.
Therefore, they require multiple years of retail and driving experience.
Most dispensary delivery driver positions go beyond driving and delivering.
Drivers often have to help with the other retail aspects of the job, such as fulfilling orders, documentation, and customer service.
