Lantern Expands On-Demand Adult-Use Cannabis Delivery to Denver

BOSTON — Lantern, the leading on-demand cannabis e-commerce marketplace and home delivery platform in the U.S., today became the first marketplace to launch adult-use cannabis deliveries in Denver, Colorado. Lantern has been serving Colorado consumers since March 2021 when it became the first platform to launch on-demand delivery in Aurora.

Lantern’s Denver marketplace is launching in partnership with local dispensaries including Frost and Strawberry Fields and their courier partner, Grn Bus. In Aurora, Lantern is also expanding its coverage with the launch of its partnership with GoodChemistry. Customers over the age of 21 can now order from a wide selection of high-quality cannabis products on LanternNow.com and have their favorite recreational products delivered to their doorstep. The company has broadened its delivery zone to two of the most populated cities in Colorado and is supported by a cohesive network of business partners. Lantern was originally incubated out of Drizly Group, the most popular and reliable online alcohol delivery platform in North America. Denver is Drizly’s third largest market, and the well-established consumer trust will provide a pathway for Lantern to build trust with Denver’s cannabis community.

Following the launch, Lantern will add more local dispensaries over the summer, with Colorado Harvest, Mighty Tree, and Higher Grade expected to be available in the coming months.

“We are excited to offer modern and personalized cannabis retail experiences in one of the most established markets in the country,” said Meredith Mahoney, Co-founder and CEO of Lantern. “Lantern’s latest expansion is possible thanks to our reliable partners at Grn Bus, Frost, Strawberry Fields, and GoodChemistry. Collaborating with local businesses with deep community relationships allows us to drive brand awareness organically and build long-lasting connections with new audiences.”

Lantern is committed to working with community organizations to create a comprehensive social equity program that will benefit entrepreneurs throughout the country. Thus far, the company has launched social equity-focused incubator programs in Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. In Denver, Lantern has continued to support The Color of Cannabis, an advocacy group that leads a 10-week course to help entrepreneurs from underrepresented backgrounds navigate the cannabis industry.

8 Breeders and Seed Banks with Desirable Strains for 2024

Every cannabis grower hopes to have a plentiful harvest full of top-shelf buds. One of the best ways to meet that goal is by planting quality genetics . But with so many breeders out there, it may be difficult to determine the best cannabis seed banks for your needs. Cannabis seeds are technically legal across the United States since they contain less than 0.3 percent THC, according to the 2018 Farm Bill. In the last six years, dozens of online seed banks have popped up vying for market share. Offering feminized cannabis seeds and autoflowering seeds in many of the most popular strains , there are endless genetics from which to choose. The best cannabis seeds for an operator may vary depending on whether a grow is indoors or outdoors, their preferred growing medium, and the ultimate goal for the crop. For example, are you hoping to extract rosin or sell smokable buds? These questions must be considered prior to selecting marijuana strains and, by proxy, a source for those genetics....

Will This Be Our Year?

In 1919, a ban on alcohol exposed a cultural divide between urban and rural America and led to a spike in organized crime. Federal, state, and local governments struggled to adapt to the abrupt change in reality that came to be known as Prohibition. The task of enforcing new regulations initially fell to the Internal Revenue Service (thus the term “revenuers” for federal agents who hunted moonshiners) before being passed to the Department of Justice (DOJ). While enforcement was concentrated in rural areas and small towns—where some folks made decent livings by operating homemade stills—urban dwellers continued to enjoy alcohol courtesy of bootleggers and speakeasies. With the end of Prohibition in 1933, after the broken bottles, blood, and dust finally settled, an article in The United States News (now U.S. News & World Report) attempted to give the citizenry an idea of how the path forward might look. The open season for liquor-control laws is at hand. With repeal on December ...
