A state medical marijuana board is recommending that Pennsylvania allow the sale of marijuana in dry leaf form.
The move would, in theory, allow users to vaporize and inhale it, and expand the kinds of medical conditions it can be used to treat.
Currently, the law still prevents dispensaries from selling marijuana that’s designed to be smoked. But some cannabis consumer advocates say no state law would prevent certified medical marijuana users from buying the dry leaf product and smoking it legally, instead of vaporizing it.
The decision is now on the desk of Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine. The governor says he’ll wait for the health secretary’s review.
