Dispenseroo, a cannabis delivery service with similar branding to Deliveroo, was ‘flyposting’ on the tube network, having placed 2,500 paper adverts for its services in carriages.

The founder, who describes himself as a Londoner in his 20s, has since revealed that Dispenseroo is generating around ‘£50,000’ a week in sales, following the guerrilla marketing campaign which lasted for three weeks.

He said that public response to the first campaign was ‘great’ and wants sales to rise to ‘£500,000 a week’ by the end of 2022.

Adverts for digital billboards and vending machines are being planned, he added. 

The tube adverts, which included a £5 discount code under the phrase: ‘Do you love [leaf emoji]?’, were placed in advertising panels.

A TfL spokesperson said that the adverts had been ‘flyposted’, an issue that is being taken ‘extremely seriously’. 

Cannabis has been advertised on London’s underground in spaces reserved for paid adverts

Dispenseroo’s founder said that the a cannabis dispensery made ‘£50,000 worth of cannabis sales’ in a week after ‘flyposting’ 2,500 adverts on the tube network

‘These adverts are not authorised by TfL or our advertising partner Global,’ they told MailOnline.

‘It is flyposting, which we take extremely seriously. We have already instructed our contractors to remove any of these posters found on our network.’

Dispenseroo’s website, which sells the Class B drug for at least £85 for 3.5 grams, also boasts free shipping for orders more than £200, as well as ‘regular giveaways and competitions for our community’.

It also says the dispensary operates ‘crop to door’. 

Speaking to Vice World News, the founder said: ‘Being young and always trying to get the best weed, I was always getting bumped. Now I have the ability to get great weed, I wanted to share it with people.’ 

He claimed that the drugs were being ‘ethically sourced’ and do not contain synthetic cannabinoids.

‘It’s grown free from pesticides and artificial chemicals. There’s no child labour, no bandos, no trap houses, it’s far away from that. It comes from reputable people. We work direct with growers across the UK and in California,’ he added.

‘All the weed and products are tested and our vapes come with lab reports on the boxes, so you can scan them and see what’s in the cartridge you are vaping.’ 

The founder said that he had been buying the Class B drug since he was 17, and wants to see a regulated market for the drug in the UK.

This could include verifying customer ages with a form of ID, he said. 

The website is registered in the US state of Washington where private cannabis consumption is legal.

Customers have given it a 4.7 star rating, following more than 100 reviews on Trustpilot.

One buyer wrote: ‘This is unbelievable, you guys are really going to be right [at] the top when it comes to legalisation.

Another wrote: ‘Saw the tube adverts. Thought that can’t work. Well dear reader it does. [Seamless] delivery of some edibles. Tracked delivery via my friendly postwoman.’

Others dubbed the website’s service ‘brilliant’ and ‘legit’ after reviving their cannabis orders.  

The site, which tells customers that their data is ‘100 per cent safe’, sells THC flowers, the psychoactive part of a cannabis plant

The website opens to a homepage stating: ‘Do you love weed? Then we’ve got some good news for you. 

‘Now with Dispenseroo, you can order all things Weed. With next day shipping if you order by midday, great customer service, and a curated selection of products to choose from.

‘We work directly with growers to ensure the best and freshest products get to you.’

On an about page, it continues: ‘The Dispenseroo team, like weed. Okay, that’s an understatement. We f***ing love weed.

‘So much so that we have dedicated our lives to starting Dispenseroo. 

‘We want Dispenseroo to be much more than just the UK’s biggest dispensary; with next day shipping for orders placed before mid-day, live chat customer support, and fair pricing.

‘We want it to be a movement…’

The team behind Dispenseroo describe themselves as a ‘collective of cannabis smokers aiming to fix the stigma surrounding cannabis and its positive effects’.

‘We are on a mission to constantly keep improving and pushing for legalisation of weed in the UK,’ they add.

The site, which tells customers that their data is ‘100 per cent safe’, sells THC flowers, the psychoactive part of a cannabis plant.

The Metropolitan Police said that it could not comment, as London’s underground is policed by the British Transport Police.

A spokesperson for the British Transport Police told MailOnline: ‘We’re not aware of any reports of this.’

Vice World News reported that the company has not been contacted by the police.
