Dear Medical Cannabis Patient:

Welcome to The Green Cross community!  We look forward to meeting your cannabis and related product needs, but also invite you to become an active participant in the medical cannabis movement.  Toward that end, let us tell you a little bit about us.

Who we are: The Green Cross is a five-year-old medical cannabis collective that has strived to be a model in San Francisco since its inception. We filed articles of incorporation in July 2004 and have been recognized by the State of California as a public benefit nonprofit corporation. We secured a building permit from the San Francisco Department of Planning, even before it was required. We are strongly committed to maintaining the cost of medicinal cannabis to make it as affordable as possible.

Our patients: In compliance with state and local laws, patients must demonstrate proper documentation in order to receive delivery services from The Green Cross.  They must have a current recommendation from a health professional, a current patient ID card issued by the City of San Francisco, or a Green Cross membership card. If a patient is relying on his/her verifiable doctor’s recommendation, he/she must provide Green Cross staff with a copy of a State of California Identification Card (I.D.) in addition to the doctor’s recommendation. This is only required once, after which, if necessary, a free Green Cross card will be mailed to the patient’s preferred address.

Our products: We provide a wide range of low cost, high quality cannabis and related products.  They include more than 40+ strains of indica, sativa and hybrid cannabis, oils, tinctures, pills, sprays, teas and body balm, and an array of incredibly delicious edibles.

Our services: The Green Cross has been active on a number of legislative and regulatory efforts related to medical cannabis.  In addition, we take seriously the role of educating the public about our movement, and educating our patients about their rights and responsibilities.  Attached below, is a complete packet of information we think is indispensable for cannabis patients.

Activism and Community Contributions Program:

  1. The Green Cross is one of the founders of the Compassionate Care Council, a trade association for medical cannabis collectives that has provided guidance to SF City officials who are seeking to make needed reforms to the legislation. The collectives and co-op leaders that have been most active include: BASA Collective, Divinity Tree, Market Street Co-op, Alternative Patient Caregivers, the Green Door, the Patients and Caregivers Collective, NorCal, Herbal Relief Patients’ Co-op, and Valencia Street Caregivers.
  2. We offer patients in San Francisco among the lowest priced, highest quality medical cannabis products, delivered in a professional manner.
  3. We also offer Disabled Veterans Discount Program: 20% off all medications. Available all day on the 2nd Sunday of every month.
  4. Senior Citizens Discount Program: 10% off all medications. Available all day on the 2nd Sunday of every month for seniors over 65.
  5. In-patient Hospital Discount Program: 10% off all medications. Available every day.
  6. Public Medical Cannabis Education Program: providing free informational material at public events and a local web forum.
  7. Good neighbor policies: The Green Cross staff makes every effort to keep adjacent streets and sidewalks clean and free of debris.  Our state-of-the-art security system allows us to assist neighbors in identifying individuals committing petty crimes, such as vandalism and car theft.  We also make contributions to neighborhood social service providers and child care centers, such as The ARC, the local chapter of Americans for Safe Access, and other patient networking events.

We recognize there are a number of really wonderful cannabis dispensaries in San Francisco.  However, if you decide to rely on the convenience of our delivery service, please know we welcome you into our Green Cross Family.

With much gratitude,

Kevin D. Reed, President
The Green Cross
