Stoned Pizza, a THC pizza delivery service, arrives in Los Angeles

Californians will soon be able to both satisfy their cravings and their foncedalle with the arrival of a new THC-infused pizza delivery service in Los Angeles.

«About four years ago, I started doing cannabis dinners here in New York, things like steak, lobster, shrimp - high-end dinners,» explains Barrett, aka Pizza Pusha . «And pizza came in as a snack for my dinners and it just took off. And at some point, I stopped doing dinners and focused on pizza and it's been three years now.»

Stoned Pizza's flagship dish, not unlike Cambodian specialties, The most popular item on their menu is pizza, which contains 40 mg THC per slice and 8 servings. But their menu also features THC-infused chicken wings, drinks and desserts like cheesecake, cookies and brownies.

«We don't just have pizza. We have garlic bread, we have sodas. We have four different flavors of soda. Canna Cola, Orange Kush, Stoned Sprite and Grape Ape,» explains comedian Jack Thriller, the brand's ambassador. «We even have vegan pizzas, so there's something for everyone!.

Until now, Stoned Pizza operated in the gray market of New York and New Jersey. But to set up in California, Stoned Pizza teamed up with Freeway Rick Ross, a notorious former drug dealer who sold a billion $ of cocaine in the 1980s. Sentenced to life imprisonment, his sentence was reduced on appeal. He was released from prison in 2009 and, 10 years later, obtained a license to operate a legal cannabis dispensary in Los Angeles.

Stoned Pizza is currently fine-tuning the final regulatory details and hopes to arrive in Los Angeles as early as this autumn.

«Right now, we're opening our first store, but we're going to open more like In-N-Out», explains Barrett. «We're going to open them everywhere.»

Stoned Pizza is also looking for investors who, like Ross, have had run-ins with US anti-drug policy.

«We're opening up to all the people who have been victims of the war on drugs, and we're looking to invest with these people to give back,» says Thriller.
