Medical marijuana legislation in Pennsylvania states that patients must suffer from a debilitating condition that results in severe nausea, PTSD, pain, or appetite loss, among other conditions, in order to qualify for medical cannabis use. Pennsylvania also requires that each of its cannabis patients register with the Patients and Caregivers Registry before purchasing treatments.

Dr. Kenneth Winokur has streamlined the procedure of acquiring a medical marijuana recommendation for his patients in Philadelphia. First, he encourages each of his patients to gather pertinent medical documentation from a primary care provider. Then, patients should log online to create a profile with the state’s Patients and Caregivers Registry. When these preliminary steps are complete, patients should then contact Dr. Winokur to schedule an appointment, during which he will assess qualified patients with medical marijuana recommendations.

To complete the process, patients must finish their registration with the Patients and Caregivers Registry to receive important registry identification. When patients have a recommendation and registry ID, they can legally and safely purchase treatments across Pennsylvania.
