Cannabis is now being pedalled in Vancouver.

But don’t expect to see cyclists wearing brightly coloured green uniforms or backpacks to identify themselves. Because of security concerns, the cyclists who deliver cannabis for Spruce Delivery on bicycles deliberately don’t stand out.

If you order from Spruce Delivery, you’ll get someone who resembles a regular bike courier.

Spruce started delivering pot to people two and a half weeks ago, said Frank Le, one of four owners of the new company.

Spruce promises fast service within its delivery area that includes downtown Vancouver, north to the waterfront, south to Broadway, and east to Victoria Drive.

“We promise 20 minutes or less or you get a free joint,” Le said by phone.

“We’re a bike-powered delivery service that runs under 20 minutes which is faster than you can get your pizza.”

According to B.C. Registry Services records, Spruce Delivery Ltd incorporated on June 27, 2017. Its office is listed in Langley, with directors on Denman Island and Vancouver.
