An on-demand medical marijuana delivery service called Eaze has launched a new service that offers marijuana recommendations by phone.
The Bay Area company first raised $1.4M in November to expand nationwide into territories where medical or recreational marijuana is legal, followed by a $10M round of funding that closed in April.
Now Eaze has started a telemedicine divison called EazeMD that allows people to be evaluated by a doctor by phone and, if qualified, issued an electronic recommendation to use marijuana that can then be immediately used to order the drug from a dispensary. Doctors are on call seven days a week from 8 a.m. to midnight.
TechCrunch called the Eaze service "Uber for weed" and experienced a delivery within 15 minutes as promised, but found a big flaw in its economic model that makes it unlike Uber or similar apps; Eaze is currently cash only.
