Uber was a genius idea that brought the quickness of social media to the taxi world. This is why Snoop Dogg has built upon that idea and has added his own spin to it. He has started an on-demand, medical marijuana delivery service called Eaze that works by having marijuana delivered to your door and all you need is a medical license.

Snoop has raised more than $10 million and has investors from DCM Ventures, 500 Startups, Fresh VC and his Casa Verde Capital. Since November, he has raised $1.5 million.

With Eaze, anybody with a medical marijuana license can expect his or her delivery to come in within 10 minutes. It's all the convenience of having a drug dealer without all the hanging out. You can probably expect the company to pop up in Washington, DC, California, Colorado and Washington state, as they all have laws legalizing recreational marijuana.

Just last week, marijuana venture capital firm Privateer Holdings funded a few small marijuana businesses to the tune of $75 million. The funding is the largest private capital fundraising since the inception of the legal cannabis industry. Some of those companies include Leafly, Marley Natural and Tilray.

"We're in this really interesting stage at the end of prohibition," Privateer CEO Brendan Kennedy told TechCrunch. "Our focus is on creating brands that fuel change, that change perceptions of the product and user -- brands that inspire trust, and brands that create legitimacy."

Privateer has been working on this big deal since 2010 after the company was started when two friends quit their day job to focus on funding products that will move the marijuana industry forward. Their big plan is to become the P&G, General Mills, Nestle, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo of the getting-high world.

"This is the next logical step in the transformation of this industry, as it changes from a market that operates in the shadows to a fully transparent market that's out in the open," Kennedy said.
