Pushing the final frontier of home delivery service, Nestdrop is a marijuana delivery app that gets the medicinal herb from dispensary to doorstep.
Users of the marijuana delivery app must prove their legitimacy as legal patients. Then, they're able to get a wide variety of cannabis products from local dispensaries delivered to their doorstep. The site offers everything from oils to edibles to pills, as well as standard marijuana and pre-rolled joints. As a helpful bonus feature, the app allows users to select from a list of symptoms that cannabis can help to alleviate -- nausea, insomnia and anxiety -- and then choose a marijuana delivery product that corresponds to that ailment.
The marijuana delivery service currently serves nine cities on the West Coast of the U.S., including Seattle, Portland and L.A.
