Marijuana is legal in the state of Pennsylvania, the state passed legislations which allowed the use of Marijuana for medical purposes alone. PA is the latest state in America to permit the use of Marijuana albeit for specified reasons. It must be remembered that there have been increased legislations in American states to allow the use of Marijuana for varying reasons. Some states allow the use of Marijuana for medical reasons while others allow the use of the same for recreational reasons.
The state of PA is the latest one to join the marijuana legalization bandwagon. The state through legislations has come up with a bill which permits Marijuana use for medical reasons. However, even in this case, the state has put in place stringent measures that govern the use of Marijuana for the said purpose. For instance, while the state of PA has allowed the use of Marijuana for medical reasons, it has set some strict qualifying conditions which must be met first before people are allowed to use Marijuana for the said purpose.
Marijuana for Medical Reasons Qualifying Conditions
The state of PA through legislation allowed the use of Marijuana for medical reasons only. However, PA was very categorical regarding the use of Marijuana for this reason.  To make things clear, the state set some qualifying conditions which anyone has to meet before being allowed to use Marijuana in line with the PA state laws.
For one to be eligible to use Marijuana for medical reasons they must first of all meet some certain conditions. These conditions include anxiety, chronic pain and autism. Patients with conditions falling in the areas listed above are eligible to use Marijuana strictly for medical purposes. Â However, even for such patients, there are procedures to be followed before anyone can be allowed to use Marijuana for this reason.
Any patients who satisfy the criterion set above and wish to use Marijuana for medical reasons alone must first of all register with the Pennsylvania department of health. There, they will be issued with a medical marijuana card which they can then use to purchase Marijuana for use for medical purposes.
PA Home Cultivation of Marijuana
While the state of PA allows the use of Marijuana for medical use only, the state does not allow home growing and cultivation of Marijuana. Â In fact, PA prohibits the growth of Marijuana at home just like the federal government. Â Interestingly, there are some states in America that have allowed the growth of Marijuana at home.
These states have also allowed the use of Marijuana for both recreational and medical use. Â It is believed that the state made this decision with the view of attracting investment in the Marijuana business sector. For the state of PA, that is not quite the case. While the stat is aware of the need to allow the use of Marijuana for some specific reasons, the state has set some stringent conditions that must first all be met before Marijuana is used for medical reasons.
Conclusion
The state of Pennsylvania has joined the other states in America which have allowed the use of Marijuana in America. The state has passed a legalization which allows the use of Marijuana for specified reasons alone.
