Affordability Program
Program Chair: Katherine Golden, RN
Access to medical marijuana can often be a life-or-death issue for many patients. The Leaf411 Affordability program provides donated medical cannabis products to low-income medical cannabis patients. In 2020, Leaf411 provided access to low-cost medical marijuana products from nurse vetted brands to many of its Affordability Program participants through vetted dispensary partners. Leaf411 Affordability Program team does not handle products or store them. The team simply connects the dots of assigning a program participant to the donated product, that is then picked up at a participating dispensary or it is directly shipped from a vetted CBD Hemp member to the participant if it is a hemp product. Leaf411 will work diligently to grow our partnerships and continue to gain access to more products that we can put in the hands of people in need through our many channels. This program will help fill in gaps to safe, affordable medicine to ensure that no patient is without safe access.
Education and Support
Leaf411’s free hotline is available to all program participants to promote safe and effective use of donated marijuana, CBD and hemp products. Our cannabis-trained nurses provide plant facts, information, and product support for patients on their cannabis journey.
Product Donations
Marijuana, CBD and Hemp products are donated to Leaf411. Strategic partnerships help Leaf411 get donated products into the hands of low-income patients through our partnerships with participating retailers and dispensaries.
A letter from our Affordability Team:
Leaf411 is putting a temporary pause on the Affordability Program.
With the re-launch of the program 2022, Leaf411 provided access to low-cost medical cannabis products from our vetted brands through our online retailers in the hemp space. We had an overwhelming response to become a participant in this program and now Leaf411 is in need of increased funding in order to maintain and continue the operations of this program. We’ve applied for grants to acquire the funding necessary to hire the team that can help this program succeed. We are waiting for the responses and should have more information available within the next few months. In the years ahead as our funding increases, we will continue to work diligently to grow our partnerships and continue to gain access to more products that we can put in the hands of people in need.
If you are experiencing financial hardship and you are in need of low-cost cannabis medicine, we encourage you to sign up for other affordability or compassion care programs you find, and we have a list of them here along with companies that provide deeper discounts for people experiencing financial hardship. Another way to keep updated on the program is through our monthly Leaf411 Newsletter and emails so please make sure to sign up for newsletters at the bottom of our homepage at Leaf411.org.
