Medical marijuana startup looking to fly high

It didn't take long for two of America's fastest growing new industries — medical marijuana and drones — to hook up.

Trees Delivery, a San Francisco startup with ambitions of delivering boxes of designer pot via drone is waiting to hear whether FAA rules will allow commercial use of the high-flying unmanned vehicles, according to Mashable.com.

The website notes that marijuana is “extremely lightweight,” which makes it perfectly suited for drone delivery.

“We see drones as an amazing tool for delivery. A drone will never be late,” Trees Delivery CEO Marshall Hayner told Mashable.

The Trees website notes that Cannabis and drones equal “amazing”. The site also notes a disclaimer that drone deliveries might not be available in all areas.

Not shockingly, Mr. Hayner told Mashable, that the company is “the most fun thing I've ever worked on in my life.”
