Serious question, / : when will you expand to one of the fastest growing industries: marijuana delivery?

We're debating internally whether we should power other delivery startups via the API or offer it ourselves. I'm a big fan of the category.
I know a few have tried here in Seattle, but they don't seem to stick around. hmmm
The answer is probably API, so you don't have to worry about navigating the complex regulatory requirements (that haven't even been finalized, and will be different across all the cities/counties in California).

Hi! I'm Bastian, CEO of Postmates. We're really excited to launch our first new category experience on ProductHunt. I and the whole team that built this will be here to answer your questions!
How is something like age verified? Is it through the app or do the people that deliver enforce it? What happens in the event of fake IDs? (Just thinking like a college student here) 😄
Maker
We're using Jumio. ID's are scanned on delivery. If ID check fails, we return the items back to the store. The fleet gets compensated for this return.
Awesome process. Thx for answering. Looking forward to this coming to more cities!
Nice launch, definitely builds off the (all-in-one app) that Postmates is aiming towards. Love the emoji gif 🎉 The PH Headquarters now:

Excited to see Drinks go live! It was the first project I came into after joining Postmates. What a team!
Will it show up room-temperature, shook up, and sideways in the bag an hour after ordering?
Maker
I think you can request that in the drop-off notes.
haha great! For the record I've only had a few drop-offs that were rattled around a bit. Overall, you guys do a good job.
Well, this is super useful... 😏🍻
Rip minibar...
Can I order my drink James Bond Style?
This look awesome! Plan on adding more ciders? ;)

We wanted to start with an easily to manage basic inventory but yes, we will add more items constantly, even outside of just alcohol.
