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 King of Prussia mall kept local police busy, particularly with shoplifting and car break-ins around the holidays. It was described as one of the world’s largest malls. Marijuana drew less of their attention, though shoppers still saw plenty of police and surveillance around the mall.
Where to Buy Marijuana
A reliable connection was the usual route. Without one, the SEPTA stop at the mall was a possible lead, though the security presence made it a gamble. Nearby Norristown was another option.
Marijuana Prices
- Mids: nickel bags, dimes and occasional two-dimes-plus-one deals. Ounces ran US$100–140.
- Nuggets: US$15–20 per gram, US$30–55 for an eighth, US$70–100 for a quarter, US$130–150 for a half ounce or US$220–250 for an ounce.
- Headies varied by seller.
Types of Marijuana
Mids, nuggets and kind bud were common, with an occasional named strain.
