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
Patrols were occasional. A joint on Main Street could bring a complaint even when there wasn’t a cruiser around.
Where to Buy Marijuana
East High Street, Water Street and the cheaper apartment complex all came up. The nighttime scene had a reputation for unreliable sellers.
