Cannabis delivery companies make New Yorkers nostalgic for their ‘weed guy’
Recreational marijuana may now be the norm in New York and licensed dispensaries are finally cropping up all over town, but New Yorkers are finding themselves nostalgic for one aspect of the pre-legalization era — their weed guy.
“I was the weed guy back then, and I’m the weed guy now,” Aaron Sepulveda, a delivery guy and dispatcher for Doobie, told The Post.Porn star duo set to be deported over plans to sleep with 'barely legal teens'“I was the weed guy back then, and I’m the weed guy now,” Aaron Sepulveda, a delivery guy and dispatcher for Doobie, told The Post.And Sepulveda notices the regulars, just like old times.
“But being able to do it through legal dispensaries and getting nearly the same experience is really nice,” he enthused of his experience with DeliveryBudz.Born and raised on the Lower East Side, Sepulveda, now 33, began his career in the neighborhood at the age of 15.That experience is something Joseph Rubin, CEO and co-founder of Doobie, has tried to create, he told The Post.
“It’s those little things that we still try and impart onto our drivers that we can pass along to the customer,” he continued. “We try to bring in those little bits that make people happy and put a smile on their faces. That’s really, really important to us.” Born and raised on the Lower East Side, Sepulveda, now 33, began his career in the neighborhood at the age of 15.“And then I found this, which gives the same experience as a street dealer, the only difference is we give you an option and you know what you’re buying and you are in full control of the order,” he explained.
