Next, you are encouraged to speak with a medical professional about your goals of treatment and current medications
When you are ready to go to the dispensary floor, you’ll be paired with a knowledgeable wellness associate who can help you find the correct product for you
Come back and let us know if your product was able to provide relief! We use this information to make better suggestions and individualize your experience.

I have a medical marijuana card from another state/the state I’m from accepts out of state medical cards. Can I purchase at a PA dispensary?

Currently, PA does not accept out of state medical marijuana cards and does not have a reciprocity program. While other states may accept PA cards, PA dispensaries are only permitted to serve patients with PA medical marijuana cards. To qualify for medical marijuana in PA, you must be a resident of this state, and you must have a PA MMJ card to purchase from a PA dispensary.

I didn’t see my question on this list.

How much cannabis can I purchase in Pennsylvania?

Only approved medical marijuana patients (and their approved caregivers) can purchase marijuana in Pennsylvania, as recreational cannabis is not legal. The amount of cannabis a medical marijuana patient or caregiver could purchase had been one-month’s supply, though recently the Governor signed a law upping the amount to a three-month supply.
