Dude, you want 40 burgers with your order?--------------------U Washington students start ‘Uber for marijuana’ delivery service

U Washington students start ‘Uber for marijuana’ delivery service:
Two students at the University of Washington in Seattle are starting a business that they describe as “Uber for marijuana.”
Josiah Tullis and Megh Vakharia are planning to launch a phone app called “Canary” in Seattle late next month.
"Canary is an on-demand service that allows you to get cannabis delivered right to your doorstep,” Vakharia said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Medical-marijuana cardholders will be able to select different strains of pot from different medical dispensaries and then have their order delivered by a cardholding driver.
Users can buy in quantities ranging from a gram to an ounce.
The app also describes the sensations users can expect to experience with each strain. 
For example, it describes a variety called "White Widow" as "Happy. Euphoric. Uplifted."
...The students said they are already interviewing drivers from Uber and Lyft who are interested in working at Canary instead.
Those drivers will also have to undergo a background check.
...Canary also has a feature called "Munchies," where users can have the drivers bring along "popular food and drink items."
"Yeah, we thought of everything," the website states.
