Dispenseroo, a UK-based cannabis delivery startup, has made headlines for its unconventional marketing tactics and impressive financial performance.
In just a few short months, the company has attracted thousands of customers and is now generating a monthly revenue of over £1m, its founder told the Independent.
By operating on the open web and offering convenient services, Dispenseroo has disrupted the traditional black market and demonstrated the potential for a legal, regulated cannabis industry.
Tax free
The company’s founder claims that Dispenseroo is making over £1 million per month and shipping thousands of orders each week. While it is difficult to verify these claims, it is clear that the company is making a significant profit.
By operating outside of the legal framework, Dispenseroo is able to avoid paying taxes on its sales and profits.
This means that the UK is missing out on significant potential tax revenue that could be used to fund public services and programs.
Additionally, the lack of regulation means that the company is not held to the same standards as legal businesses, potentially posing risks to consumers.
How Dispenseroo Operates
Unlike other online drug markets, Dispenseroo operates on the open web, meaning it can be easily found through search engines like Google and DuckDuckGo.
The company offers services similar to legitimate businesses, including next-day delivery and live-chat customer support. Dispenseroo also regularly holds promotions and giveaways.
Deliveries are sent in vacuum-sealed bags to mask the smell and are shipped through traditional postal services. Despite its similarities to legitimate companies, Dispenseroo’s product is very much illegal in the UK.
Legal Challenges
Dispenseroo’s methods have drawn the attention of law enforcement and other businesses. The National Crime Agency and the Metropolitan Police have both commented on the legality of the company, though it is unclear if there is an ongoing investigation.
Deliveroo, a popular food delivery service, has also taken legal action against Dispenseroo for allegedly mimicking its brand – forcing the company to rebrand to ‘Dispensree’ – and transport for London is investigating Dispenseroo for placing unauthorised ads on the London Underground.
Despite these challenges, Dispenseroo’s founder, known only as “S,” remains committed to advocating for relaxed cannabis laws in the UK and expanding the company’s advertising efforts in 2023.
Customer Response
I’ve personally ordered from Dispenseroo and been left pretty impressed.
The website itself features a number of customer reviews, which all seem to be positive, while there’s also plenty of chat on Youtube, Reddit and other forums confirming the quality of the goods and service they received from Dispenseroo.
Conclusion
Dispenseroo’s rapid growth highlights the demand for cannabis and the failure of current drug laws in the UK.
By operating on the open web and offering convenient services, Dispenseroo has disrupted the traditional black market and demonstrated the potential for a legal, regulated cannabis industry.
While the company’s methods may be controversial and face legal challenges, they also shed light on the need for updated cannabis laws that prioritise the safety and well-being of individuals.
It is important to consider the potential benefits of a legal cannabis industry and the harm caused by criminalising its use and sale.
