Suffolk covers most of Long Island's land area, and DeliverBud's Hemp Retail lane here is a question of distance: how far a licensed retailer is willing and able to deliver.
Suffolk County stretches from the Nassau line out to Montauk, with population concentrated in the western and south-shore towns and thinning further east. That spread is the central constraint on Hemp Retail delivery here, just as it is for any delivery service in the county.
DeliverBud is a technology platform, not a retailer. Licensed cannabinoid hemp retailers registered with the New York OCM under Article 5 and 9 NYCRR Part 114 use our software to publish menus, take orders, and coordinate compliant delivery — the sale is always theirs. The Hemp Retail marketplace section is built for 24/7 browsing and ordering, which describes the marketplace, not any specific Suffolk retailer's actual hours.
Product-specific age verification applies here too: flower, inhalable concentrates, and cannabinoid hemp products above 0.5 milligrams of total THC per serving require valid government-issued photo ID confirming 21+ under Part 114. We are pre-launch and are not claiming Suffolk Hemp Retail coverage.
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 this lane. Suffolk availability will depend on which OCM-licensed cannabinoid hemp retailers join and how far east their delivery range extends — distance is the main limiting factor here.
The East End is the hardest part of the county to serve, given lower population density. We will not claim coverage there unless a licensed Hemp Retail Partner's delivery range genuinely reaches it.
Hemp Retail Partners are registered under Article 5 and 9 NYCRR Part 114 to sell cannabinoid hemp products — a different license and product category from an adult-use or medical cannabis dispensary.
Certain categories do — flower, inhalable concentrates, and products above 0.5 milligrams of total THC per serving require valid government-issued photo ID confirming 21+, under 9 NYCRR Part 114.
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.
