Munchies Tips
- Don’t drive. Walk, take the LTC, use a taxi or rideshare, or order delivery.
- Don’t consume at the restaurant. Cannabis isn’t allowed inside restaurants, and smoking or vaping isn’t allowed on patios or within 9 m of them.
- Drink water. Salty snacks and cannabis both leave you thirsty. Here’s how to beat dry mouth.
- Stock up earlier in the day. Our weekday orders placed before noon are delivered the same day in London, so you’re not caught short at night.
