To date, 10 dispensaries and 10 grower/processors have been approved to operate.
More than 17,000 patients have registered to participate in the medical marijuana program, with nearly 4,000 certified by a physician.

The Medical Marijuana Program became effective on May 17, 2016, and is expected to be fully implemented in 2018.
The program will offer medical marijuana to patients who are residents of Pennsylvania and under a practitioner’s care for the treatment of a serious medical condition as defined by the Medical Marijuana Law.
