This High-Priced, Fancy Juice Company Is Actually Delivering Weed​

If you live in Boston or Cambridge and have a hankering for some expensive juice, you’re in luck: For the low price of $55, startup delivery service HighSpeed will deliver a serving of locally sourced “fresh-pressed” juice straight to your door.

But if you’re thinking that $55 for juice sounds just a little expensive, you’re not wrong. The mark-up comes from the free “love” that accompanies each juice. What the hell is free love? You’re probably wondering. Weed. It’s weed. (Now it makes more sense, right?)

According to the Boston Globe, it’s illegal to sell weed in Massachusetts, though it is legal to use for recreational or medicinal purposes. However, it won’t actually be legal to sell until a government-regulated marketplace opens up in 2018. Interestingly enough, adults are allowed to give away or transfer 1 ounce of weed to other adults as long as you’re not paid or rewarded for the service in any way. (HighSpeed delivery drivers check customer IDs and ensure that they match the billing information to ensure that all patrons are over 21.) That’s where the juice comes in — as far as the authorities are concerned, it could be plausible that HighSpeed’s customers just really, really love expensive juice.
