One of NYC’s first legal cannabis dispensaries, Union Square Travel Agency (USQTA) and Doobie, a national cannabis delivery service, have joined forces to bring the fastest and widest cannabis delivery experience to New Yorkers.

This groundbreaking partnership aims to expand cannabis delivery across all five boroughs of New York City and the Hamptons throughout the summer season. With the launch of trydoobie.com on June 1, residents of Manhattan, as well as Brooklyn's DUMBO and Williamsburg neighborhoods, can now order state-regulated cannabis products and have them conveniently delivered until 10:00 p.m.

USQTA CEO and Co-Founder, Paul Yau, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "Working with Doobie will allow us to significantly expand USQTA's retail trade zone, especially as the summer season kicks off. Whether New Yorkers move to the beach or stay at home, they will be able to purchase their favorite USQTA products wherever they are in the Metro Area."

Doobie Co-Founder, Jessie Powell, added, "By teaming up with USQTA, we hope to deliver moments of happiness to New Yorkers. Our collaboration will expand access to cannabis products and provide quick, convenient, safe, and low-cost deliveries to all customers as we expand throughout New York City, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties."

With Doobie's streamlined and mobile-optimized shopping experience, USQTA customers can effortlessly browse popular cannabis products by category or brand. Expert consultants are available to address any inquiries through chat or phone at 1-888-8DOOBIE. The service also ensures efficient inventory management, on-demand customer support, secure payments, and real-time delivery updates. Customers receive a series of reassuring text updates throughout the delivery process.

The new cannabis delivery service will be showcased at the upcoming Cannabis World Congress & Business Exposition (CWCBExpo) at the Javits Center. Attendees of CWCBExpo can conveniently place their orders via trydoobie.com or visit the USQTA booth located at Javits Hall 3A, Booth 243.

USQTA, a purpose-driven cannabis dispensary, allocates over half of its proceeds to The Doe Fund, a non-profit organization. As a staunch supporter of cannabis legalization and the repair of damage caused by the War on Drugs, USQTA is committed to giving back to the community. The dispensary supports BIPOC-, women-, and LGBTQ-owned brands while providing employment opportunities to formerly incarcerated individuals and legacy operators.

Doobie, a leading national cannabis delivery service founded and owned by women, is dedicated to providing consumers with convenient and safe access to cannabis. With a carefully curated selection of products, Doobie aims to simplify the cannabis purchasing process. The user-friendly interface of their platform streamlines both ordering and delivery.

Currently operating in California, Massachusetts, and Missouri, Doobie now expands its reach to the New York market.
