The ReLeaf Center in Bentonville is now offering a delivery service of all of their medical marijuana products to card holders that live within a 15 mile radius of their store on McNelly Road.

The delivery costs a flat $5 within 5 miles of the store, with an additional $1 per mile up to the 15 mile radius. However, patients must spend $100 pre-tax to qualify for delivery.

“You do the order just like you would for a pickup that we already do here in store,” said Kyle Campbell, the assistant manager for the ReLeaf Center. “Once you place that order, you’ll get a text message from us that says you know were getting your order ready for pickup you just respond with a text message saying you’re requesting it’s for delivery. We do have a consultant here in store that is on the other end, its not just all automated.”

The ReLeaf Center said they’re only allowing repeat customers to access delivery after they have stopped into the store to provide information such as their medical marijuana patient identification card and other details to be left on file.
