Patients may qualify for Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana program if they suffer from cancer, HIV/AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, neuropathies, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, intractable seizures, glaucoma, autism, sickle cell anemia, damage to the nervous tissue of the spinal cord with objective neurological indication of intractable spasticity, or severe chronic or intractable pain of neuropathic origin. The Department of Public Health also has the authority to approve for other serious medical conditions.
Patients with a qualifying medical condition and a doctor’s certification can submit an application with the Department of Public Health to enroll in the state’s medical marijuana program. If their application is accepted, the department will issue the patient and/or his or her caregiver an identification card that allows them to access medical marijuana from an approved dispensary.

The department is currently developing the process for registering patients and has not yet released applications. The department will communicate with the public as the registration process becomes available. It expects to complete the implementation of the program by early 2018. “When implementation is completed, patients who are residents of Pennsylvania and under a Pennsylvania-licensed physician’s care for the treatment of one of the 17 serious medical conditions, may lawfully and safely obtain medical marijuana in the commonwealth as permitted by the Act.”
The Department of Public Health will initially issue permits for up to 50 dispensaries. Each dispensary may have no more than three separate locations. The Department expects to begin accepting applications for these dispensaries in early 2017.
