Free Medical Marijuana

Chronic illnesses are notorious for the financial hardships they bring on to patients and their families. Luckily, several programs offer free medical marijuana to help ease your medical condition, and lessen the financial burden it carries.

Dispensary 33 Cannabis Compassion Program

This Chicago-based dispensary has created the Cannabis Compassion Program to help financially distressed patients. 

Anyone who is currently receiving need-based government assistance (SNAP or Medicaid, for example) qualifies for this program. 

But, to apply for the program of free marijuana, a person needs to be a registered Dispensary 33 patient for at least 120 days. 

Applications are available twice a year. Applicants who get into the program get $240 store credit every month for six months. They can try out anything ranging from flowers, pre-rolled joints, concentrates, edibles, topicals, and so on.

The Higher Path Compassion Program

The Higher Path is an LA cannabis dispensary that offers free medical cannabis and cannabis products to all LA residents with low incomes. How to apply? 

• Become a Higher Path member
• Show a valid MMIC or doctor’s recommendation
• Fill out the application 
• Upload supporting documents

Weed for Good Program

Weed for Good works with health facilities, hospitals, and nonprofit organizations to donate free marijuana to low-income and people suffering from chronic and terminal conditions.

You can request medicinal cannabis, donate it, or apply to volunteer.

Free Medical Cannabis for Low Income Patients

While some cannabis brands offer discounts to special groups, such as veterans, first responders, students, low income families, individuals with disabilities, etc., others go even further by offering free medical cannabis.

For example, Sweetleaf Collective offers free medical cannabis to low income HIV/AIDS and cancer patients. You can apply to get your free sample by providing the letter of diagnosis, doctor’s letter of recommendation, and proof of low income.

Eaze also offers free medical cannabis to low-income patients. To get more information on eligibility, you can contact one of the brand’s partner organizations: Operation Evac, Weed for Warriors, This is Jane Project, Bay Area Americans for Safe Access, or Dear Cannabis.

How to Get Free Weed in Clinical Studies

Participate in research, help science, and get some fine weed in turn. Some research studies will even pay you to participate! 

• The US NIH has an extensive database of cannabis studies you can apply for. The Johns Hopkins Research Unit is regularly updating its list of cannabis researches that need volunteers. 

For example, the University of Colorado is currently recruiting older adults (60 and up) with pain issues and sleeping problems to test cannabis for these issues.
