Pennsylvania allows licensed medical dispensaries to deliver cannabis directly to certified patients and caregivers; Pittsburgh follows state rules without local additions, and only registered patients with valid ID cards may receive deliveries.
Pennsylvania Department of Health regulations under the Medical Marijuana Act authorize licensed dispensaries to deliver to certified patients and approved caregivers. Drivers must be dispensary employees with background checks, transport in locked compartments, and verify the recipient's MMJ card and government ID at handoff. No deliveries to schools, prisons, or unlicensed third parties. Pittsburgh has not added local restrictions beyond state requirements. Recreational delivery is not legal because recreational cannabis itself remains illegal statewide. Patients should keep proof of registration with delivered product when traveling, especially across municipal lines.
PA DOH license violations for non-compliant delivery; criminal exposure if delivering to non-patients (felony distribution); city involvement limited to traffic and zoning enforcement.
