How it works

How cannabis is sold in Depew

Herbal IQ opened in Depew on 21 July 2023 as the first licensed dispensary in the Buffalo suburbs, and Transit Road still anchors the village's five entries.

Why does one address not match?

WGRZ put the opening at 6061 Transit Road, while the register lists Herbal IQ at 6300 Transit Rd. Both may be right if the shop moved or the number was misprinted, so confirm before you drive. Dream Daze is at 5100 Transit Rd, High Cloudz on Walden Avenue at 3478, The Phinest Buds on Dick Road and The Smoking Buffalo on George Urban Boulevard.

What does the village itself require?

The Village of Depew code, in its cannabis chapter, requires a special use permit for any cannabis, hookah or vape business, according to eCode360. That extra step can slow an opening even where the state licence is in hand. State-level limits live on the New York page; our Cheektowaga page covers the town next door.

Cannabis in Depew: questions

Was Herbal IQ really the first suburban dispensary?

WGRZ described it as the first licensed dispensary site in the Buffalo suburbs, opening on Friday 21 July 2023, days after a Main Street shop in the city.

Do I need a special permit to buy in Depew?

No. The permit is a village requirement on the business, not on customers; adults 21 and over buy as they would elsewhere.
