Don't Get Baked, Get Educated (About Philly's Cannabis Laws)
Unfortunately, unlike cheesesteaks, recreational marijuana and its edible friends are not on the legal menu in Philadelphia...yet. However, Pennsylvania has a medical marijuana program, and there are a few dispensaries in the city.
But wait! This doesn't mean you have to abandon your edible dreams entirely. If you have a valid medical marijuana card from Pennsylvania, you might be able to find some tasty treats at a dispensary.
Here's the catch: Edibles aren't the most common medical marijuana product, and they often come in forms you might not expect, like capsules or tinctures. So, don't expect a shelf overflowing with gummy bears and brownies.
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
The Quest for the Elusive Edible: Navigating Medical Dispensaries (if you have a card)
If you do have a medical marijuana card, here's a quick rundown on how to find edibles (or similar products) at a dispensary:
- Do your research: Look up dispensaries near you and check their online menus (if available). You might find info on what forms of medical marijuana they offer.
- Call ahead: Dispensary menus can change, so it's always a good idea to call and ask if they have any edible options available.
- Be prepared to explain: When you visit the dispensary, be upfront with the staff about your desire for edibles (or similar products). They can explain what options they have available and what might work best for your needs.
Remember: Even with a medical marijuana card, there might be limitations on the amount of THC you can purchase. Be sure to ask the dispensary staff about any restrictions.
