How to get your Pennsylvania medical marijuana card
Frequently asked questions
What conditions qualify for a medical marijuana card in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania's Department of Health lists two dozen serious medical conditions, including cancer, PTSD, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's, severe chronic or intractable pain, and - unusually - anxiety disorders, autism, and opioid use disorder.
Does anxiety qualify for a medical card in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Pennsylvania added anxiety disorders in 2019, and they are now among the most commonly certified conditions in the state - a notable difference from states like Arizona and Ohio, where anxiety alone does not qualify.
Does severe chronic pain qualify in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Severe chronic or intractable pain - of neuropathic origin, or where conventional treatments have not worked - is a qualifying condition, and PA-approved physicians generally read it broadly for documented pain histories.
Can I get a Pennsylvania card for opioid use disorder?
Yes. Pennsylvania is one of the few states that lists opioid use disorder as a qualifying condition, where conventional treatments are contraindicated or ineffective, or as an adjunct to primary treatment.
Can a minor get a medical card in Pennsylvania?
Yes. A minor with a qualifying condition can be served through a designated caregiver - usually a parent or guardian aged 21 or older - who registers with the program and manages the minor's medicine.
