The Sweetleaf Collective began in 1996 in San Francisco, California, the birthplace of medical marijuana and the cannabis compassion movement. In the beginning, Sweetleaf helped 5 AIDS patients access to free medical cannabis. Now we help 100 low-income terminally ill patients gain access to free medical cannabis, support a variety of special programs, and actively advocate for healthy equity in the state of California. At Sweetleaf we remain committed to compassionate access to under-served communities and ensuring health equity for all who would benefit from medical cannabis.
