Applying for a medical marijuana identification card would cost Pennsylvania residents $50 under patient and caregiver registry regulations the state Department of Health is proposing.
“Every day, we hear from patients who are desperately waiting for this program to be fully implemented,” said Acting Health Secretary and Physician General Dr. Rachel Levine. “These proposed regulations for patients and caregivers to participate are one of the final pieces we need to have in place to launch the program sometime next year.”

The proposal says the fee may be reduced or waived for those who demonstrate a financial hardship by including certain documents with their applications, although it does not name those documents.
Pennsylvania's law authorizes some forms of medical marijuana for those with specific medical conditions, and applications will have to include proof that that a doctor participating in the program has certified the patient.
