Above Green Retreat is more than just a lounge, it’s a much-needed community space for people who rely on prescribed cannabis to manage real health conditions, chronic pain, disabilities, and life-altering symptoms every single day.

For many patients, medicating can be isolating. People living with chronic illness often spend large parts of their lives misunderstood, judged, or simply alone in what they’re going through. This lounge exists to change that.

It’s a safe, welcoming environment where patients can sit together, use their medication responsibly, and have honest conversations with others who truly understand. Conversations about pain, anxiety, insomnia, cancer treatment, neurological conditions, PTSD, autoimmune diseases, mobility issues, and the daily realities of living with long-term health challenges.

In many ways, it serves the same purpose as a support group or wellness community. Just as people gather in recovery groups, therapy circles, or cancer support centers to find comfort and connection, prescription cannabis patients also deserve a place where they can feel accepted, supported, and human.

There’s coffee, drinks, snacks, activities, laughter, conversation, and moments of normality. A place to unwind without fear of judgement. A place where someone can come in feeling exhausted by the world outside and leave feeling seen, understood, and less alone.

For prescription cannabis patients, spaces like this are not a luxury. They are a necessity.

Community has always been a huge part of healing. Isolation makes symptoms worse. Connection helps people cope. Safe social environments improve mental wellbeing, reduce loneliness, and create support networks that many chronically ill people otherwise do not have access to.

This lounge represents compassion, accessibility, and dignity.

At its core, it’s simply about people taking care of people. And in a society that increasingly talks about mental health, inclusion, disability rights, and patient wellbeing, spaces like this deserve understanding and support, not stigma.

Because everyone deserves somewhere they can feel comfortable, safe, and accepted exactly as they are.
