MetroBud Cannabis Club Membership Agreement

I. Purpose & Defined Services

MetroBud Cannabis Club (“the Club”) is a private, veteran-supportive membership-based concierge service that assists individuals aged 21 and older in New York State by:

1. Connecting members with fellow veterans and other Club members who may legally possess and transfer cannabis under New York law.

2. Providing access to a curated menu of cannabis products, sourced exclusively through member-to-member transactions.

3. Facilitating safe delivery via third-party transport providers, ensuring that cannabis is transferred securely and discreetly within compliance with applicable laws.

4. Advocating for NYC veterans, with membership fees contributing to veteran-focused programs, resources, and community support initiatives.

II. Compliance with the MRTA

The Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) permits adults 21 years and older in New York to legally possess and consume cannabis. However, licensed sales and regulated dispensaries are still being developed under the oversight of the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM).

MetroBud Cannabis Club does NOT sell or distribute cannabis. Instead, the Club functions as a member-to-member network, facilitating connections among private individuals who lawfully possess and transfer cannabis within New York State.

By joining, members acknowledge that:

• MetroBud operates strictly within New York cannabis laws.

• Members must ensure their own compliance with possession limits, transfer laws, and consumption regulations.

• The Club does not engage in unlicensed retail sales.

Discreet Club Operations:

MetroBud Cannabis Club operates as a private, invitation-only organization to uphold discretion and compliance with New York cannabis regulations. The Club is not open to the general public and reserves the right to approve or deny membership at its sole discretion.

III. Membership Agreement

By enrolling as a MetroBud Cannabis Club Member, you agree to:

1. Veteran-Focused Mission:

• A portion of membership fees will support NYC veterans through charitable contributions, advocacy, and community initiatives.

• MetroBud prioritizes membership access for veterans and their supporters.

2. Membership Fees & Benefits:

• Members agree to pay a membership fee to maintain access to Club services.

• This fee covers access to Club offerings, including concierge services, community support, and member-to-member transaction facilitation.

• Fees do NOT cover cannabis purchases—cannabis itself is exchanged strictly among Club members, independent of MetroBud.

3. Member Responsibilities:

• Members agree to abide by all applicable cannabis laws in New York State.

• Members acknowledge that MetroBud’s role is limited to connecting members and facilitating safe transactions without financial gain from cannabis exchanges.

• Members must not engage in resale, distribution, or unlawful transfer of cannabis.

4. Cannabis Cultivation (Future Compliance):

• As New York State implements home cultivation regulations, MetroBud plans to facilitate in-house cultivation to maintain quality control and affordability for members.

• Members acknowledge that all cultivation and distribution will comply fully with state law.

5. Policy Updates:

• This agreement is subject to modification based on changes in New York cannabis laws.

• Members will be notified of any revisions, and continued participation in the Club constitutes acceptance of updates.

3. Legal Responsibilities & Personal Risk

• Cannabis remains federally illegal, and possession outside of New York may result in legal consequences.

• Members agree to indemnify and hold harmless MetroBud Cannabis Club, its owners, employees, and affiliates from all claims, damages, or liabilities related to their cannabis use.

4. Health & COVID-19 Waiver

• Members acknowledge that interacting with MetroBud personnel or delivery staff may involve exposure to COVID-19 or other transmissible illnesses.
