On April 17, 2016, Governor Wolfe signed the Medical Marijuana Law in Pennsylvania,

making it legal for Pennsylvania residents to possess medical marijuana in various

forms for treatment of certain ailments. As of 2021, there are over 500,000 patients

and caregivers registered for PA’s Medical Marijuana Program with over 280.000

active certifications. There are also more than 1500 doctors registered and approved

by the Commonwealth.

This workshop will address the challenges presented to law enforcement with the

advent of the new law. Topics covered include a brief history of marijuana, society’s

changing attitudes towards marijuana, the plant itself, various forms and ingestion

methods, paraphernalia, the current Federal and Pennsylvania laws, conflicts

between the Federal and State statutes, signs and symptoms of impairment and

recommended procedures for traffic stops. The course was initially designed for law

enforcement officers; however, it is applicable and beneficial to other members of

the criminal justice system including District Attorneys, Assistant District Attorneys,

Probation & Parole officers, County DUI Coordinators, and other professional highway

safety partners.

There is NO fee for this workshop
