• Inhaled: Extracts or Vapes
• Topicals: Creams or Patches

No. In Pennsylvania, you cannot legally grow your own marijuana plants, even if you have a medical marijuana card. The Medical Marijuana Act in Pennsylvania does not permit patients to cultivate their own cannabis plants.

• No, as a Pennsylvania medical marijuana cardholder, you cannot legally travel out of state with medical marijuana, nor can you access dispensaries in other states.

• Patients under 18 years old CAN be certified to use medical marijuana if they have any of the state’s qualifying conditions. They also must have a caregiver who is approved by the department of health in order to obtain medical marijuana.
• A “caregiver” who is designated by the patient and approved by the department will be able to obtain medical marijuana from an approved dispensary located in the commonwealth that has a validly issued permit from the department in order for the caregiver to deliver medical marijuana to the patient.
• Ask our patient care staff for more details about becoming a Caregiver.
