Age Notice (21+): The Site contains cannabis-related educational content and is intended for adults 21 years of age or older.

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Public Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1) Who We Are

Mendry is a Florida nonprofit corporation recognized as an IRS 501(c)(3) public charity.

Mendry is independent and is not part of, affiliated with, or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) or any government agency.

2) Age Restriction (Cannabis-Related Content)

The Site contains information about medical cannabis and cannabis-related topics and is intended for adults.

You must be at least twenty-one (21) years old to access or use the Site. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you are 21 or older.

We do not knowingly allow use of the Site by anyone under 21. If we learn that a person under 21 has provided personal information to us, we may delete that information and restrict access.

3) What the Site Is (and Is Not)

A) Education and information only

The Site provides general educational and informational content. Nothing on the Site is medical advice, legal advice, billing advice, credentialing advice, financial advice, or a substitute for professional judgment. If you need medical or legal advice, consult a qualified professional.

B) No medical services; no prescriptions; no sales

Mendry does not provide medical treatment, diagnose conditions, prescribe medications, or issue medical cannabis certifications/recommendations. Mendry does not sell cannabis and does not facilitate cannabis purchases.

C) Directory platform only; no endorsement

The Site may include directories or listings of third parties (for example, providers, clinics, enrollment coordinators, sponsors, or other resources). We do not endorse, recommend, certify, warrant, or guarantee any third-party product, service, or outcome.

D) No guarantee of outcomes

• eligibility for VA Community Care,
