The Cannabis Compassion Program
We know what a financial hardship living with chronic illness creates. This is why we have created the Cannabis Compassion Program – to donate at least 1% of our sales to economically distressed patients, free of charge. The rules for applying are the following:
Qualify
Be a continuous registered patient of Dispensary33 for at least 120 days prior to the application submission date.
Demonstrate need. There is not a strict cut-off, but anyone receiving need-based government assistance (SNAP or Medicaid, for instance) qualifies, as does anyone who can demonstrate living below the poverty line.
Apply – May and November
Applications are only available during the months of May and November and are due June 1 and December 1, respectively. During those months paper applications will be available at the front desk of the dispensary and a digital copy can be downloaded here. (not currently available)
Get On The Waitlist
All eligible applicants for an application period are randomly assigned a queue number, which is used to determine their place on the wait list. Most applicants waitlisted in this round of awards will be selected in the following.
Awards
Awardees receive store credit every month for 6 months – either January to June, or July to December. This amount is currently $240 per month.
After 6 months, awardees must wait a year before reapplying.
Questions? Send us an email.
We’d like to thank our colleagues at the Berkeley Patients Group for inspiring us to create this program and we owe a deep thanks to the following Illinois cultivator partners, whose contributions to this program has enabled us to expand this program’s reach to many more patients than would otherwise have been possible.
