Peaceful, eaze-y feeling

The evolution of San Diego's dope delivery

It’s right there in the name.
It’s right there in the name.

It’s hard to believe there was a time when cannabis was hard to find. (“Cannabis” — how formal. In my late teens, the references used were “weed,” “herb,” “marijuana,” and “pot.” But that’s what happens when you get legal.) In the early ‘90s, the rumors on the streets whispered that the reason for the cannabis drought was an increase in drug busts at the border. If you didn’t know anyone who sold it directly, your product was going through someone who knew someone, and sometimes, it was going through someone that knew someone else as well. You faced the real risk of hands in your bag — or no bag at all. The quality was not the same as it is now, and even the good stuff was not as potent. Now, there are no more stems and seeds. Now, you can get quality grown cannabis delivered to your door — like ordering a pizza. I can remember a time when we would not have believed such a thing possible.

Prop 215 passed in 1996: a California Medical Cannabis law that allowed patients and caregivers the right to possess and cultivate. Dispensaries and delivery services started sprouting up. It required seeing a physician and getting a medical marijuana card. Then, on November 8, 2016, Prop 64 passed, legalizing the use, sale and cultivation of recreational cannabis in California for adults 21 and over. Finding a reliable delivery service was still difficult back then. I’d find one I liked, and then they’d disappear. I liked the convenience of delivery over going into a dispensary, but I also liked reliability. Then I discovered a delivery service called Eaze. They’re an online technology platform that delivers cannabis through a safe and convenient service. The company started in 2014 in San Francisco. Today, they deliver all over the greater San Diego area. I find the products reasonably priced. On the website or app, the deals are displayed first at the top: flower, edibles, vapes and concentrates up to 30-40% off. A code is provided to add at checkout to get the discount. The sign-up process requires an ID, your address, cell # and e-mail. Scroll down to see the flower. You can spend as little as $12 for 3.5 grams or get 28 grams for $199. Vape cartridges come in 1g and .5g sizes. There are edibles such as gummies, drinks, chocolate bars, and cookies. For concentrate enthusiasts: shatter, badder, shatter, live resin sauce and hash. All products are compliant and lab tested. They also offer accessories: lighters, batteries, pipes and sometimes bongs.

It’s a $50 minimum for deliveries and $75 for free deliveries. You can send $30 in Eaze credit to a friend and get $40 after they get their first delivery. There are three possible methods of payment: checking account, debit card and cash. There’s also a method-of-delivery option. They send text notifications after the order is placed and give an estimated time of arrival. You can track your driver. (There’s also the option to cancel your order.) A text notification is delivered when the driver arrives, and they also call to announce their arrival. Estimated time of arrival usually is 60-90 minutes after ordering. Your product arrives in a nice bag, and an itemized receipt is e-mailed. Be sure to have your ID handy and tip your driver.
