-- 53 Safe Harbor Letters Approved: The department has approved 53 Safe Harbor Letters to date and are processing 10 more applications.

“Providing the public, our partners and stakeholders with the opportunity to review the draft temporary regulations and provide feedback before they are published is very important to us and ensures that we are being transparent throughout the process. I encourage all interested individuals to provide feedback to help us create a high quality, efficient, and compliant medical marijuana program for Pennsylvania residents with serious medical conditions,” said Murphy.
