We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing awareness and education about medical cannabis to communities across Mississippi. In partnership with the Mississippi Cannabis School and the Mississippi Cannabis Trade Association. We prioritize taking our services directly to the communities. We build our own Neighborhood Wellness Advocates through the Heal Responsible initiative, fostering trust as we partner with local charities, community centers, faith-based organizations, and businesses to extend our reach and deepen our impact within the community.
Through these partnerships and our intentional efforts, we are enhancing medical cannabis literacy and increasing the patient count as part of our journey toward supporting 100,000 Mississippi medical cannabis patients.
We are dedicated to educating and increasing awareness about the benefits and responsible use of medical cannabis. With only 43,000 patients currently enrolled in our Mississippi medical cannabis program, our mission is clear: to expand educational outreach and community engagement, ensuring that diverse populations, especially those underserved, can access this vital healthcare option responsibly. Through partnerships with certified medical cannabis healthcare providers, community leaders, and direct patient interactions, we aim to demystify medical cannabis and foster a well-informed, health-conscious community.

True accessibility means meeting our community members where they are, both literally and figuratively. We prioritize bringing our educational resources and services directly to the streets and places where our community congregates, ensuring that everyone, regardless of mobility, transportation options, or daily commitments, has equal access to our programs. Here’s how we ensure our efforts are truly inclusive:
Our mobile units travel throughout Mississippi, stopping in every city with a licensed dispensary, and targeting counties where program engagement is notably low. This strategy ensures that we are accessible to everyone, especially those who might find it difficult to attend traditional venues, and provides a direct link to places where medical cannabis is available.
Instead of asking people to come to us, we set up our educational pop-ups and engagement sessions in places already integral to their daily lives, such as local churches, community centers, and neighborhood spaces. This approach reduces barriers to access, making it easier for individuals to receive information as part of their regular routines.
We provide educational materials in various formats to cater to different learning styles and needs, including visual, auditory, and hands-on demonstrations directly in the community. This ensures that everyone, regardless of educational background or personal preference, can engage with and benefit from our resources.
Recognizing the diverse cultural makeup of our communities, we offer materials and communication in multiple languages and employ community liaisons (Neighborhood Wellness Advocates) who reflect the demographics of the areas we serve. These liaisons help bridge cultural and communication gaps, fostering a deeper and more effective dialogue.
