Queens is where DeliverBud's Hemp Retail lane starts — a separate marketplace section from Dispensaries Near You, built for licensed cannabinoid hemp retailers.
Queens is the largest borough in New York City by land area, and a Hemp Retail Partner here can cover real distance for the neighbourhoods around it. DeliverBud partners only with cannabinoid hemp retailers registered with the New York OCM under Article 5 of the Cannabis Law and 9 NYCRR Part 114 — a separate license type from an adult-use cannabis dispensary.
Each Queens Hemp Retail Partner is the seller of record on its own DeliverBud storefront, publishing its own real menu, prices, and hours. The DeliverBud Hemp marketplace is built for 24/7 browsing and ordering, but that describes the marketplace, not a promise about any one retailer — each listing shows that retailer's own current open/closed status.
Age verification on a Hemp Retail order depends on the product: flower and inhalable concentrates, and any cannabinoid hemp product carrying more than 0.5 milligrams of total THC per serving, require a valid government-issued photo ID confirming the recipient is 21 or older under 9 NYCRR Part 114. Our Queens Hemp Retail pilot is in preparation — sign up and we'll notify you as licensed partners come online.
A licensed Hemp Retail Partner’s DeliverBud page is its own hemp menu, covering the categories a cannabinoid hemp retailer typically carries:
DeliverBud is pre-launch for the Hemp Retail lane in Queens and preparing its pilot with OCM-licensed cannabinoid hemp retailers. Sign up to be notified as licensed partners come online in your neighbourhood.
No. A Hemp Retail Partner is registered with the New York OCM under Article 5 and 9 NYCRR Part 114 to sell cannabinoid hemp products — a category legally distinct from the adult-use or medical cannabis a licensed dispensary sells. DeliverBud keeps the two in separate sections of the marketplace.
It's DeliverBud's marketplace-level positioning — the Hemp Retail section is open for browsing and ordering around the clock. It doesn't mean every Queens Hemp Retail Partner is staffed 24 hours; each storefront shows its own verified hours and open/closed status.
No. Only specific categories — flower, inhalable concentrates, and products above 0.5 milligrams of total THC per serving — require a valid government-issued photo ID confirming you're 21 or older, under 9 NYCRR Part 114. Other cannabinoid hemp products may not carry that restriction.
DeliverBud is a technology platform and marketplace, not a Hemp Retailer. All cannabinoid hemp sales are made by retailers registered with the New York Office of Cannabis Management under Article 5 of the Cannabis Law and 9 NYCRR Part 114. Not every product requires age verification -- some categories require a valid government-issued photo ID confirming the purchaser is 21 or older; see the FAQs above for which ones.
