PENNSYLVANIA BILL TO ALLOW MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR EVERY ILLNESS AT DOCTOR'S
DISCRETION
by Nina Zdinjak
June 22, 2023 9:05 AM | 2 min read
The Pennsylvania Senate Law & Justice Committee on Wednesday approved a bill
that would loosen up the current medical marijuana program.
In a 10-1 vote, legislators supported the measure that enables physicians to
prescribe medical marijuana as a treatment no matter what is the patients’
illness, reported Trib Live.
Under Senate Bill 835, there would no longer be a list of 24 serious conditions
that would qualify patients for treatment with medical marijuana, instead,
physicians could recommend for any conditions they believe medical cannabis
could help.

The legislation, sponsored by Republican Senator Mike Regan, would remove the
expiration date on medical marijuana cards and would allow marijuana
administration via inhalation.

“The ultimate goal is to reduce restrictions on medical marijuana organizations
and to reduce the cost and burden on patients through such efforts as
eliminating the expiration of medical ID cards and the list of serious medical
conditions,” Regan said at the committee meeting. “Nowhere do we dictate to
doctors what conditions a patient must have for them to prescribe medication.”
The committee also approved a different measure sponsored by Republican Senator
Dan Laughlin that would allow the sale of marijuana edibles. Currently,
Pennsylvanians can buy and use medical marijuana products such as pills, oils,
topicals, dry leaf (vaporized not smoked), tinctures and liquids, which is
something Senate Bill 538 aims to change.
The idea behind this bill is to provide a safer and tested alternative to
marijuana users who prefer edible formats and therefore are relying on illegal
sellers on a nearby Indian reservation in New York.
“Constituents drive up there and, quite frankly, I don’t know who’s
manufacturing those products. I don’t know if they’re being tested for potency
or anything really,” Laughlin said. “From my standpoint, passing a bill like
this is not only convenience for my medical patients who live in my district but
also for their safety.”
Among marijuana operators that would benefit from the edibles policy change
given their operational footprint in the Keystone state include Curaleaf
Holdings, Inc (OTCQX:CURLF), Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTCQX:TCNNF), Ayr Wellness
Inc. (OTC:AYRWF), and Verano Holdings Corp. (OTC:VRNOF).
Another cannabis-related bill was approved by the committee on Wednesday. Senate
Bill 773, sponsored by Republican Senator Chris Gebhard, would give independent
grower processors of medical marijuana extra dispensary permits.
All three bills are now heading to the full Senate for consideration.
