The Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Program was established in 2016 through the passage of Act 16, also known as the Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Act. To participate in their medical marijuana program, patients must first obtain a physician's recommendation, then enroll in the Pennsylvania Department of Health's Patient and Caregiver Registry.

Once a patient is approved by the state, they are issued a medical marijuana card that enables them to buy medical cannabis from state-licensed dispensaries.
