More than 80,000 patients have registered for the program since the state registry was launched in October 2017, Philadelphia magazine reported.
Here’s what you need to know:
- The number of registered patients has jumped by 33% from 60,000 to 80,000 in the past two months. The number approved to receive ID cards also has increased by a third, from 38,000 to 51,000 during the same period.
- Pennsylvania has 35 MMJ dispensaries in operation and another 17 will soon open, according to Philadelphia magazine.
