A new membership initiative aims to position cannabis as a healthcare solution, with opportunities for businesses and groups to incorporate it into their comprehensive wellness benefits.
NEW YORK, July 23, 2025 — Today, , a company dedicated to leveraging cannabis as medicine to revolutionize healthcare, has unveiled the nation’s inaugural clinically-focused cannabis care program. This groundbreaking initiative provides individuals with access to clinical oversight, tailored care strategies from expert practitioners, and discounts of up to 30% on cannabis products available at more than 700 dispensaries across the country.
Individual memberships begin at an accessible $9.99 per month. Memberships are also available via Leafwell’s employer and organizational collaborations. Among its current organizational partners is the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC), serving its 2 million members who are adults aged 50 and older.
“Our member surveys indicate that a considerable number are not only receptive to cannabis care but are actively pursuing safer, more natural options for addressing pain, sleep problems, and other prevalent health conditions,” stated Kurt Meyer, Senior Vice President at AMAC. He added, “We selected Leafwell for their stringent clinical standards, credible medical staff, and demonstrated results. This offering provides our members with access to tailored, high-quality care that aligns with their principles and requirements.”
Given that medical cannabis is typically not covered by insurance or conventional healthcare plans, Leafwell’s membership offers a pathway for companies seeking to provide extensive wellness benefits to include cannabis care. This marks a crucial advancement in enhancing accessibility to medical cannabis. Leafwell’s pilot initiatives with employers have demonstrated considerable effectiveness among municipal and school district staff in Trenton, Orange, and Teaneck, New Jersey, alongside collaborations with insurance providers like Meritain Aetna and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield.
By integrating cannabis care as an employee benefit, businesses and groups can empower their members to tackle health issues, foster greater engagement, and pursue more active lifestyles—concurrently contributing to reduced healthcare expenditures.
“This introduction signifies a transformative change for both the cannabis industry and cannabis-based medicine overall,” stated Emily Fisher, CEO and Founder of Leafwell. She added, “We are dismantling obstacles and establishing an elevated benchmark for cannabis care—where cost-effectiveness, ease of access, and clinical superiority are seamlessly integrated. By providing cannabis telehealth services, customized care and expert advice, along with more budget-friendly product selections, we have essentially created a ‘Hers’ model for medical cannabis.”
Leafwell has further forged alliances with prominent national dispensary chains, such as Curaleaf, Fluent, iAnthus, and The Cannabist Company, in addition to respected independent retailers like The Travel Agency and Gotham. This collaboration ensures smooth and economical access to cannabinoid-based products through exclusive member savings.
“At The Cannabist Company, we have consistently advocated for cannabis to be recognized alongside other legitimate health and wellness resources. Leafwell’s achievements align precisely with the systemic transformation we have pursued for more than a decade—a future where accessibility, affordability, and informed education are intrinsically linked. We are honored to be part of a consortium that is contributing to the normalization of medical cannabis while constructing tangible connections between cannabis and established healthcare frameworks. This is the pathway to genuine change,” commented Jesse Channon, President of Cannabist.
“This initiative represents another significant achievement in solidifying the regulated cannabis sector as a credible and reliable component of the U.S. health and wellness sphere. Alongside Leafwell and its extensive network of dispensary collaborators, we are emphasizing safety, clarity, and accessibility for a wide range of patients and consumers. Through this novel and progressive employee benefit scheme, we are pleased to persist in dismantling obsolete stigmas and extending a welcome to new patients and customers at our dispensaries in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Florida,” stated Boris Jordan, Chairman and CEO of Curaleaf.
With intentions to broaden its reach to additional employer and organizational networks, Leafwell is spearheading a nationwide endeavor to integrate cannabis care into mainstream healthcare. This effort aims to redefine how businesses and groups support the health and welfare of their personnel, ultimately facilitating the path for cannabis care to gain insurance coverage and wider systemic incorporation.
