PA’s Marijuana Laws

Currently, Pennsylvania residents can use marijuana for medicinal use. Recreational use is, however, still illegal. Only qualified medical cannabis patients may have the drug in their possession.

Our attorneys stay up to date on legislation and can help you navigate confusion surrounding charges associated with:

• Marijuana DUIs
• Misuse of medical marijuana

Some PA cities — including Bethlehem, Philadelphia, York, Steelton, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Lancaster — have begun to reduce penalties for simple possession.
