Nearly two years after Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf signed Senate Bill 3 (SB 3) into law, the state’s first six dispensaries are finally ready to open their doors to registered patients this week.
Just north of Pittsburgh, the CY+ dispensary will be ready to serve patients today at their location on Pillow Street in Butler with a selection of over one-hundred different medicinal cannabis products in stock.
CY+ opened their doors for a day just a couple of weeks ago in January to allow media and others to come in and get a preview of what to expect when the dispensary opens for medicinal cannabis sales today.
Tomorrow, Keystone Canna Remedies will be commencing sales at their first location on Stefko Boulevard in Bethlehem. The dispensary held its grand-opening in mid-January where media, business community members, and various officials got a first look at the facility, but display samples were the only products that were on-hand at the time.
With final inspections behind them, and after having hosted an open house on February 7, Solevo Wellness will be opening their doors at 2 pm tomorrow at their location on Forward Avenue in Pittsburgh.
Organic Remedies on Valley Road in Enola will also be open tomorrow.

The Terra Vida Holistic Center is opening their first dispensary on Saturday at a location on North Main Street in Sellersville. The woman-owned company based in Abington also has plans to open two more facilities in Pennsylvania; one on Old York Road in Abington and another on Planebrook Road in Malvern.
Keystone Shops will also be opening their doors at 1 pm for all medical cannabis patients in the state on Saturday at their location on Lancaster Avenue in Devon. For the dispensary’s grand opening day, no appointments will be taken, and patients will be helped on a first come, first served basis.
Of the roughly 17,000 patients registered in Pennsylvania’s medicinal cannabis program, certified physicians have approved around 4,000 of them to participate. There are currently seventeen medical conditions that qualify a patient to use medicinal cannabis.
Before a visit, patients are encouraged to contact the dispensary they intend to visit to find out if an appointment is required, as is the case with some.
Currently, ten dispensaries and ten grower/processor licenses have been issued in the state of Pennsylvania, though not all of them are ready to begin doing business with patients just yet.
Congratulations to the residents of the Keystone State and the thousands of patients who can finally find relief in the cannabis plant.
Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, may your future be filled with cannabis everlasting, from your dispensaries.

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 1 month after I turned 50. My Grand-mum was 96 and had it since she was in her 20s. I was on Copaxone, the first year was daily and later I was on 40 mg, 3 times a week. It made a tremendous difference for me. Although the fatigue was what really gets to me. When I do too much, I do start to feel weak.There has been little if any progress in finding a cure or reliable treatment. My multiple sclerosis got significantly worse and unbearable because of my cognitive thinking.. Last year, i started on a natural multiple sclerosis Herbal therapy from Green House Herbal Clinic, i read a lot of positive reviews from patients who used the treatment and i immediately started on it. I had great relief with this herbal treatment. I am doing very much better now, no case of Cognitive thinking or memory Loss,, my multiple sclerosis condition is totally reversed.

My mother was diagnosed with ALS in May 2014. Her doctor put her on riluzole, letting her know there was no cure but the medication might provide her a few more months of delayed symptoms. ALS progresses at different rates and affects different body parts first. My mother, being 80 at the time, fell into a category of what they call “fast progression” (older female). Her arms weakened first, then her hands, her mouth, and throat, and finally her lungs. Throughout her two-and-a-half-year ordeal, she was able to walk with assistance. All the while she continued to take the riluzole. If it bought my mother any time, we will never know. Her neurologist told us that if she couldn’t afford it, there was no real need to take it. She lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took her off the riluzole (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started her on the ALS natural herbal formula we ordered from GREEN HOUSE HERBAL CLINIC, We spoke to few people who used the treatment here in Canada and they all gave a positive response, her symptoms totally declined over a 7 weeks use of the Green House ALS disease natural herbal formula. She is now almost 83 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed! (Visit their website www . Greenhouseherbalclinic . com) I am thankful to nature, herbs are truly gift from God.
