Legislative Background
Pennsylvania legalized medical cannabis in 2016 through Act 16, creating one of the nation's more comprehensive programs with licensed dispensaries, a wide range of qualifying conditions (including chronic pain and PTSD), and allowances for various product forms. Recreational use remains illegal, with unregistered possession treated as a misdemeanor or felony depending on amount.
Law Enforcement
The smell in a car was considered the most likely reason for a search. Police attention otherwise felt limited, apart from surveillance around the Stroudsburg mall.
Where to Buy Marijuana
The local McDonald’s drew street racers and sellers after midnight. That crowd was where people tended to ask around.
