HARRISBURG — Think you know a lot about cannabis in Pennsylvania?

You can test your knowledge of the state’s medical marijuana system with our new interactive quiz — which we’re sharing at a time when cannabis rules are receiving extra scrutiny in the state Capitol.

While lawmakers are debating recreational legalization for adults, they are also considering significant changes to supervision of the medical program. A bill to increase the Department of Health’s oversight powers for cannabis laboratories and doctors passed out of the state House in March with large bipartisan support. Meanwhile, a key lawmaker in the state Senate has proposed a new oversight model for the entire program.

In this quiz, you’ll answer questions on a range of medical cannabis topics — from the number of patients currently served by the program to advertising rules — by simply clicking your response.
