Pennsylvania medical dispensaries: 163 listed, ~200 permitted

Card first, dispensary second

Philadelphia has 14 of our listings, Pittsburgh 6, and York, Scranton, Lancaster, Harrisburg and Allentown 4 each. The card comes first: a Pennsylvania resident registers online, gets certified by an approved practitioner (a certification lasts up to a year) and pays $50 for the card, waived for people in Medicaid, PACE/PACENET, CHIP, SNAP and WIC. Patients may name up to two caregivers aged 21 or over, who pass a background check.

• Quantity: up to a 90-day supply as certified.
• Tax: no sales tax on patient purchases. Growers and processors pay a 5% gross receipts tax on sales to dispensaries.
• Buying: in person, by the patient or a registered caregiver; some stores offer curbside pickup.
• Courts: in March 2026 the Commonwealth Court temporarily blocked a rule the department used to review vape products containing added terpenes.

About 438,700 patients were registered on June 1, 2026, according to program figures reported by NORML. Adult-use legalization has stalled: the House passed a bill in 2025, the Republican-led Senate has blocked it, and House Speaker Joanna McClinton said in late September 2026 that 2027 is possible only if Democrats win three more Senate seats on November 3. Until then, do not bring cannabis from New Jersey or New York. Read the Pennsylvania medical marijuana guide for the certification steps.
