Under Senate Bill (SB) 34, Sespe Creek Collective is able to legally gift cannabis (up to $250 a month) through its Compassionate Care Program to qualifying medical consumers. If you have a valid physician’s recommendation, government-issued ID and are experiencing financial hardship, you may be a candidate for this program.
How do I apply?
First, log in or create an account on your My Account page. Once logged in, complete and submit our online Compassionate Care Program Application.
If you need assistance applying, please contact us at [email protected] or call (805) 738-7490.
How does the selection process work?
Applicants are screened for eligibility- each applicant must demonstrate residency in Ventura County, financial need, and a medical recommendation for cannabis from a licensed healthcare professional, and be a member of Sespe Creek for a minimum of 60 days prior to the application. Once we receive your completed application with supporting documentation, we will let you know if your application has been approved within 7-10 days.
Sespe reserves the right to limit the number of people selected to participate in the Compassionate Care program at any time.
How do I obtain a doctor’s recommendation?
Please refer to this page for the full details, or skip ahead to get a recommendation online using one of these tele-health providers.
How do I show proof of financial need?
We accept proof of participation in need-based government programs (i.e., Social Security Insurance, SNAP or Medicaid, but not SSDI, or housing vouchers).
How do I renew my membership in the CCP?
We will prompt you to re-verify your information prior to your anniversary date. We encourage you to add a calendar reminder when it’s time to renew your medical recommendation.
How much will the discount be if I am selected?
Awardees are granted a 20% discount on cannabis, a maximum total discount per month not to exceed $500. The Compassionate Care Discount can be used on products intended for your use only. This discount may not be combined with other discounts or promotions and any purchases made with the discount will not be eligible for loyalty points.
How do I receive my free products?
Approximately every two weeks we will notify you to let you know what products are available for you to choose from. All offerings are first-come first-served although we strive to distribute products equitably based on your preferences.
What kinds of products can I receive?
We actively solicit all our vendors to donate to this program but availability of specific products will vary. We will do our best to accommodate specific requests.
