Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi confirmed during an interview with CNBC TechCheck that the company may launch its own cannabis delivery service once federal laws allow it to do so.

Uber has hinted that we might be able to order marijuana delivery through their app in the future.

“When the road is clear for cannabis, when federal laws come into play, we’re absolutely going to take a look at it.”

“When the road is clear for cannabis, when federal laws come into play, we’re absolutely going to take a look at it.”

For now, the company said they will continue to focus their efforts on their current delivery options with food and alcohol.

“We see so much opportunity out there, and we’re going to focus on the opportunity at hand,” Khosrowshahi said.

Although cannabis is still illegal under federal law, Khosrowshahi’s statement comes just weeks after New York became one of the 17 states to make recreational marijuana legal. California, Nevada and Oregon allow cannabis deliveries with no restrictions for residents 21 and older.
