Joe Airone

Founder & Director, Sweetleaf Collective

Joe Airone, a.k.a. Sweetleaf Joe, is an advocate for medical cannabis and the founder and director of the Sweetleaf Collective. Sweetleaf has been providing free medical cannabis to low-income, terminally ill patients since 1996. Sweetleaf Joe started Sweetleaf Collective when he noticed there was a surplus in the cannabis industry that was going to waste. He decided to redirect that surplus and provide medical cannabis to sick and dying patients who didn’t have access to it.
