The Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania cannabis laws you can still get in trouble over

Many new laws and policies have made marijuana more accessible like Pennsylvania s medical cannabis law passed in 2016 and less punitive, such as the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana enacted by several cities, including Pittsburgh. These smaller marijuana victories have been championed by advocates, but despite efforts leading to legalization of marijuana in neighboring states near Pennsylvania, including both New York and Virginia just last week, weed for recreational use is still illegal in the Keystone State. Patrick Nightingale, director of cannabis advocacy group Pittsburgh NORML and a criminal defense attorney, wants to remind marijuana users, both medical and recreational, of these hard facts. He still has many clients in the Pittsburgh area facing marijuana-related charges.
