In April 2016, Gov. Tom Wolf legalized medical marijuana in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The bill allowed Pennsylvania residents to obtain a medical marijuana identification card for the purchase and consumption of cannabis products from state licensed vendors for prescribed medical use. After almost two years, marijuana products finally became available in February 2018.

In four short years, a lot has happened. The one constant has been that of change. The evolution is still in its early stages and the laws surrounding the use of marijuana will continue to be defined. The areas of rapid change include criminal violations, including DUI, probation and loss of employment for a positive drug test.
