San Francisco’s cannabis scene just got a wild plot twist that even the most seasoned stoner couldn’t have predicted.
Eaze, the once-mighty marijuana delivery startup that went from Silicon Valley darling to bankruptcy, has somehow managed to resurrect itself by taking over the iconic dispensary at 1685 Haight Street. This isn’t just any storefront – it’s a location with more drama than a Netflix series about tech startups.
From Venture Capital to Venture Collapse
Remember when Eaze was the “Uber of Pot” that secured a mind-blowing $700 million valuation? Fast forward a few years, and they’re filing for bankruptcy faster than you can say “microdose”. But like a phoenix rising from the ashes (or should we say, rising from the joint), Eaze has secured a prime location in one of San Francisco’s most legendary neighborhoods.
A Dispensary with a Past
The space itself has a colorful history. Originally Berner’s on Haight – the neighborhood’s first legal dispensary – it went through a name change to Blaze on Haight before ultimately shutting down. Now, Eaze is breathing new life into this cannabis cornerstone, proving that in the Bay Area, second chances are always on the menu.
The Cannabis Comeback
While the legal cannabis industry has seen more burnouts than a college freshman’s first semester, Eaze seems determined to defy the odds. With their new brick-and-mortar location, they’re signaling that reports of their death were greatly exaggerated. Who said tech startups can’t have redemption arcs?
As San Francisco continues to be the playground of innovative (and sometimes chaotic) business models, Eaze’s resurrection feels like a perfectly fitting narrative for our beloved city. Stay tuned, because in the world of Bay Area cannabis, anything can happen.
