[Press Release] DENVER — LivWell Cares, the philanthropic arm of LivWell Enlightened Health, announced today that it will be sponsoring a promotion to provide ounces of high cannabidiol (CBD) cannabis to qualified medical patients for just one penny. The company is working with the founders of American Medical Refugees and the Cannability Foundation to identify medical marijuana patients in need to receive these ounces just in time for the holidays. Qualified patients can purchase their penny ounces at all LivWell Enlightened Health recreational locations starting Wednesday, December 21, while supplies last.
“It is my hope that these penny ounces might help bring some holiday cheer to thousands of families in need of medicine this holiday season,” said John Lord, owner and CEO of LivWell Enlightened Health. “We are honored to be working with such terrific organizations that have helped us identify deserving medical patients who will get the most benefit from this product.”
The organizations working with LivWell Enlightened Health represent a network of thousands of medical marijuana patients in Colorado. The company chose to promote this giveaway with the help of these organizations to ensure that the products reach those for whom they will make the biggest difference.
"No one should have to choose between buying food or the medicine they need, especially this time of year," said Stacey Linn, Executive Director of CannAbility Foundation.
"Our patients came to Colorado in order to legally access the medicine they need for themselves and their families,” said Amy Dawn Bourlon-Hilterbran, founder of American Medical Refugees. “They have given up so much and are so financially drained. Providing this medicine to patients for just one penny will help improve the quality of life for thousands of patients this holiday season."
This promotion marks the second time this year that LivWell Cares has sponsored a promotion to give away ounces of cannabis that are high in CBD, one of many non-psychoactive cannabinoids that have been shown to be useful for a number of medicinal purposes. Earlier this year LivWell Cares sponsored a promotion which gave away more than 8,000 high CBD ounces to Colorado veterans, resulting in more than $800,000 of product being sold for the nominal price of one penny. Colorado state law prohibits cannabis companies from giving medicated product away for free.
