Embrace Hope: BrainForest & the Cannabis Assistance Foundation Partner
Access is key.
However, for those with chronic or terminal illnesses, gaining access to cannabis can sometimes be a challenge. BrainForest is proud to share that we are partnering with the Cannabis Assistance Foundation (CAF) in order to empower lives "one leaf at a time." We stand with CAF and its cause to put therapeutic cannabis and its products in the hands of those in need. BrainForest believes it's essential to break down the harmful stigmas surrounding cannabis, which will further research and education for all. By joining with CAF, we aim to create cannabis access for those in need, and to help improve people's quality of life.
Cannabis Assistance Foundation: Empowering Lives One Leaf at a Time
Founded on the pillars of compassion and accessibility, CAF is a 501c3 non-profit organization. CAF's mission is to make compassionate care accessible to all individuals, regardless of financial circumstances. At the heart of their mission is the belief in the therapeutic benefits of cannabis. Through compassionate partnerships with industry-leading companies like BrainForest, CAF endeavors to provide a lifeline to patients in need.
We at BrainForest truly believe in this incredible mission. We've seen loved ones at the end of their lives in pain and struggling. We recognize the value and importance cannabis treatment may provide for individuals like our loved ones.* By leveraging our partnership, CAF can then offer qualified individuals free and legal products, which empowers them to take control of their health and well-being. Through the help of CAF, cannabis assistance is attainable for someone in need.

*Those on hospice and end-stage life care qualify automatically for a 90-day supply.
BrainForest's Journey: From Struggle to Support
BrainForest, a company rooted in the pursuit of wellness and happiness, was founded as a direct result of our founder's personal struggle with mental health. During a profound battle with depression, Christine began to look for alternative methods of healing. Thankfully, she discovered the healing potential in both CBD and THC in managing her mental health.
Indebted to the healing powers of cannabis, Christine made it her mission to share cannabis' potential with the world. As a result, BrainForest is not only a purveyor of premium cannabis products and merchandise, but it's also a company determined to share the hope and potential of cannabis for those navigating similar challenges and struggles.
We at BrainForest believe CAF's mission aligns directly with our own. We have partnered with them in order to nurture their growth and reach, and most importantly, to help them do good for people in need of care and compassion.
A Collaborative Effort: OneLeaf for Change
BrainForest and CAF joint initiative is aptly named LeafLove4All. This collaboration celebrates compassion and focuses our attention on accessibility for those in need.
When you purchase our BrainForest-brand Water Pipe or one of our Silicone Bongs (Aztec or Tie-Dye), and then use the code LeafLove4All, 100% of the net proceeds go to the Cannabis Assistance Foundation's noble cause.
We chose these particular pieces for recipients due to their quality and ease of use. Your customer feedback tells us the silicone bong is widely used by people with tremors. While the BrainForest Water Pipe was chosen because it receives the best reviews in regards to the quality smoke experience it provides. In addition, our Water Pipe is easy to use and has a functional, easy-to-clean design.
NOTE: If you own a retail store and would like to help the cause, we have a special offer just for you!
BrainForest is happy to partner with retail store owners and run a buy one-give one special for your customers. Thanks to this deal, your valued customers, as well as those in need will benefit from a new pipe as well.
