Milton certainly loves its cannabis!
Ahead of April 20th, Uber has provided a list of 4/20-inspired statistics using data from 2023. Within Ontario, Milton ranked 3rd for Ontario municipalities that order cannabis the most through Uber Eats, and second among those within the Greater Toronto Area.
Someone also had themselves a night in the big city, as the most expensive cannabis order placed last year was a grand total of $422.08 from a Toronto cannabis retailer. This haul included bowls, bongs and buds.
“Cannabis delivery on Uber Eats helps combat the underground illegal market, which still accounts for over 40% of all nonmedical cannabis sales in Ontario,” says Uber in a release. “Further, research from Public First in 2021 showed that some cannabis users drive after consumption with 1 in 7 (14%) of cannabis users admitting to having driven a vehicle within 2 hours of consuming cannabis. Delivery options like those available through Uber Eats are expected to help decrease impaired driving and improve safety on the road.”
If you’re looking to celebrate this weekend, consider ditching the keys and ordering in. Enjoy in moderation, and stay safe on the roads.
