Richmond, CA, Feb. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Kin Slips, the North American leader in cannabis-infused sublingual strips, announces its partnership with Sweetleaf Collective, one of the oldest medical cannabis groups in the world, which helps HIV/AIDS and Cancer patients throughout California access free medical cannabis.

Kin Slips’ donation and Sweetleaf’s distribution of free medical cannabis was made possible by Highway 1 Distribution, California Street Cannabis Company, The Higher Path, Cornerstone Wellness, and Padre Mu.

“We are honored to support Sweetleaf Collective’s long-standing mission of facilitating the donation of free medical cannabis to those who most need it. As both the North American leader in cannabis-infused sublingual strips and a California-based company, Kin Slips is committed to supporting its local California communities, and increasing the supply and accessibility of free medical cannabis is one of the multiple ways we are demonstrating that commitment.” ––Andrew Lobo, CEO of Kin Slips

"We are so thankful to have Kin Slips and other local California and Bay Area cannabis brands on our team. We couldn’t do this work without the support of our local cannabis companies and we hope to continue to support our neighbors that need this medicine the most.” ––Sweetleaf Collective Team

"We are honored to meet and work with like-minded people, such as the revolutionary Sweetleaf Collective and lifestyle-crafted Kin Slips, who bring medicine to folks in need.
