Pennsylvania prohibits home cultivation of cannabis by patients, caregivers, and recreational users. The Medical Marijuana Act limits production to state-permitted growers, and unauthorized cultivation remains a criminal offense under state drug law.
The Medical Marijuana Act, 35 P.S. Sections 10231.101-10231.2110, restricts cannabis cultivation to grower-processors permitted by the Department of Health. Patients and caregivers may obtain medical cannabis only from licensed dispensaries; home growing is not authorized. Recreational cannabis remains illegal under 35 P.S. Section 780-113. Cultivating any number of plants is treated as manufacturing a Schedule I controlled substance, with penalties scaling by plant count and weight.
Unauthorized cultivation can be charged as a felony with up to 5 years imprisonment and $15,000 fines for small amounts, escalating to 10 years and $100,000 for larger quantities.
