Why it matters

Medical cannabis is used by working adults for conditions that affect performance every day.

  • A real, unfilled need

    Chronic pain, anxiety, and sleep disorders are among the top qualifying conditions. These are the same issues that reduce productivity and drive absenteeism, and no health plan on the island covers the certification.

  • Zero clinic time for the company

    The entire process is 100% online. Employees apply from their phones, upload documents, and receive their card by email. No office visits, no scheduling burden for HR.

  • Low cost, high relevance

    At $99.99 per employee for the resident license, this is one of the most affordable workplace benefits available in Puerto Rico, covering a cost that employees currently absorb out of pocket.

What the employee gets

A certified employee receives full patient rights under Puerto Rico Law 42-2017.
