Medical Marijuana in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana program provides access to medical marijuana for patients with specific medical conditions. Here’s some Q&A to guide you through the process of getting medical marijuana.

You must create a profile here that includes basic information such as your legal name, current address, and contact information. To register for the medical marijuana program, you must have a Pennsylvania driver’s license or an ID card issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

NOTE: After you have been certified by an authorized physician, you will need return to this registry, so be sure to retain your sign-up info.

The next step after registration (see above)  is to have an approved physician certify that you suffer from one of the qualifying medical conditions.

Approved physicians also have access to the Medical Marijuana Registry and will submit their certifications directly to the state system.
