Thanks to the generosity of our patients, dozens of Utah patients will be able to gain access to the medicine they need. Dragonfly is honored to partner with the Utah Patients Coalition, providing a way for patients to get off the waitlist and into the pharmacy to get the care they need. Together with UPC, Dragonfly will continue to support more patient-support programs, education, and community events in 2026.

The Reality of Medical Cannabis Costs in Utah

While the Utah medical cannabis program continues to grow, cannabis is not yet covered by health insurance. For many individuals living with chronic illness, disability, cancer, or PTSD, the monthly cost of treatment can become a significant financial burden. Through our “Round Up” campaign, your contributions go directly toward helping local patients who might otherwise be unable to afford their doctor-recommended medicine. Every dollar donated stays in Utah to support our neighbors in need.

How Your Donation Makes a Difference

Thanks to the contributions from over 2,208 patients we were able to raise $4,518 for local patients, giving them the care that they so desperately need. Many of the patients on UPC's waitlist are often already facing financial hardships; having to choose between getting groceries or getting their medicine. Thanks to the generosity and kindness shown by each donation, those patients no longer have to choose one or the other. That also means that those patients:

Are now able to stay employed
Are now able to treat daily, chronic pain that can often be debilitating
Are getting a massive improvement in their quality of life.

Dragonfly already sponsors hundreds of patients every year, and now we're able to assist even more patients.

What Is the Utah Patients Coalition (UPC)?

The Utah Patients Coalition is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to the well-being of medical cannabis patients throughout the state. Their mission focuses on three primary pillars:

Financial Assistance: Providing grants for low-income patients.
Policy Advocacy: Working at the state level to protect patient rights and access.
Cannabis Education: Offering resources for patients, families, and healthcare providers regarding safe and effective use.

UPC played a pivotal role in establishing Utah’s medical cannabis laws and continues to ensure that patient needs remain the priority in policy discussions today.

What’s Next in 2026?

Dragonfly and UPC will be expanding our collaboration in 2026, including:

More patient-assistance activations
Holding educational events
Community-building opportunities

Our commitment to providing high-quality, patient-first, care remains unwavering as we carry on into the new year.

Thank you for your support!
