Leaf Data Systems in Pennsylvania 101

Leaf Data Systems is the official statewide track-and-trace system for Pennsylvania's medical cannabis program.

In 2016, Pennsylvania made a significant stride in cannabis reform by legalizing medical marijuana through Senate Bill 3, signed into law by Governor Tom Wolf. This legislation established a comprehensive medical marijuana program, regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, allowing patients with qualifying conditions access to cannabis for therapeutic use. The program permits the acquisition of medical cannabis in various forms, such as pills, oils, topical solutions, tinctures, and liquids, with later expansions to include methods like vaporization and nebulization. This move has significantly enhanced patient accessibility to medical cannabis across the state.

Following the 2018 Farm Bill, which federally legalized hemp production, Pennsylvania embraced the cultivation and production of hemp. This legislative change has led to the legal production and use of CBD products derived from hemp, as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC. The adoption of hemp cultivation and the legal status of CBD products mark Pennsylvania's efforts to diversify its approach to cannabis, complementing the medical marijuana program and reflecting a broader trend towards cannabis acceptance and utilization.

Approved Pennsylvania medical cannabis license holders will need to implement and stay compliant with Leaf Data Systems.
