Cancer doesn’t care. Jetty does.
The Jetty Shelter Project provides premium cannabis extracts free of charge, or nearly free of charge, to individuals living with cancer and facing financial hardship. We operate via participating dispensary partners. Since 2014, our mission has been simple: making relief accessible, regardless of cost.
Community Impact
- $1.2 Million+ in cannabis products donated as of 2026.
- 1,320+ individuals supported through their cancer journey.
- Helping since the beginning. Our founders actively lobbied for cannabis reform to fix broken laws and ensure compassionate care remains legal and accessible. Our Cannabis for Good tour helped gather signatures and pass California Senate Bill 34.
Compassionate care is our mission
When the Jetty Shelter Project began in 2014, compassionate cannabis was in a legal gray area. Our founders actively lobbied for reform, leading the Cannabis For Good tour to gather the signatures needed to pass SB 34. Today, our goal to provide cancer patients with the support they need remains as strong as ever, and programs like Shelter Project provide dignity and relief for those already struggling with so much.
Jetty’s Shelter Project serves those facing cancer in CA, CO, and NY.
Currently, the Shelter Project serves individuals in California, Colorado, and New York. Accepted applicants receive up to 8 grams of Jetty cannabis products every other month (free of charge, or nearly free of charge!) through our dedicated dispensary partners listed below. Donations are picked up in person at these participating locations:

SHELTER PROJECT FAQs
Here are frequently asked questions around Jetty’s Shelter Project.
The Jetty Shelter Project is a community-service-based program that provides high-potency cannabis concentrates free of charge, or nearly free of charge, to individuals in financial need living with cancer. It was founded to honor the legacy of early compassionate-care activists and currently serves patients in CA, CO, and NY.
On a bi-monthly schedule, Jetty provides product donations to those facing cancer and in financial need. We work with partnering dispensaries in CA, NY, and CO to coordinate and prepare these packages for convenient in-store pickup.
California Senate Bill 34 (The Dennis Peron and Brownie Mary Act) allows cannabis companies like Jetty to donate products to qualified individuals in California without paying the taxes usually associated with commercial sales. Jetty was a primary advocate for this bill to ensure the legality of compassionate donations.
Individuals are welcome to apply at any time of year. Applications submitted outside of our enrollment periods (May–June and November–December) will be reviewed and, if accepted, placed on a waitlist to begin receiving donations during the next Open Enrollment period.
Jetty donates vape cartridges, All-In-One vapes, and Dablicators, in OCal Solventless, Solventless, RSO, Live Resin, and High THC lines. Subject to availability and location.
