Industry Discounts / Compassion Care Programs / LEAF411's Affordability Program – Leaf411

5/26/2023 - 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 below, 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.

We look forward to continuing our relationship with you and bringing quality medicine at an affordable price. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if we can be of further service by clicking here to schedule a follow-up call. If you are a Affordability Program participant, you can receive a coupon code to waive the $35 fee if needed or you can call any of our business members listed on this page here and ask for their FREE LEAF411 coupon code. Please email: affordability@leaf411.org if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
The Affordability Team

Unfortunately, Compassion Care Programs are tough to find and only offered to residents of states that have these programs. Always check with your local dispensary to see what discounts they offer older adults, Veterans, etc. Dispensaries will typically have certain discounts on certain days for specific groups or they will have some type of rewards program. We've put together some resources we've found to help your find a program and/or discounts:
