Massachusetts cannabis delivery companies are seeing demand, but say one issue is getting in the way of profitability

For Christopher Fevry, the CEO and co-founder of cannabis delivery company Your Green Package, October has brought a milestone of crossing 2,500 deliveries.

After starting delivery with NETA over the summer, Your Green Package is also working with Garden Remedies now, and is doing 30-plus deliveries per day, Fevry said.

While Fevry and other cannabis delivery companies are glad to be out on the road, they say one thing is standing in the way of true success and equity: the two driver rule.

Regulations from the state Cannabis Control Commission require there to be two drivers in cannabis delivery vehicles. The drivers must also wear body cameras and the vehicle must be outfitted with GPS.

That rule is the biggest challenge to reaching profitability, Fevry said.

“My hope is that there are some changes that are made that make the industry a bit more balanced, a bit more equitable,” Fevry said. “There needs to be a balance between regulations and actual business operations and things that are happening on the ground.”

Gabe Salazar, the founder of We Can Deliver, also feels that he’s been hit hard by the rule.

“It’s not equitable for us as a delivery company but it’s also not equitable for the drivers,” Salazar said. “If one driver calls out that means another can’t work.” [Read More @ Masslive.com]
