About Us

Pennsylvania Cannabis News, a sister publication of Western PA Healthcare News, is a leading online publication that covers the cannabis industry in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from both the consumer and healthcare professional perspectives. 

It was founded in 2019 with a simple mission—to inform and educate the general public on cannabis-related news, events, and issues. Through this digital publication and our social media networks, we publish our own news stories, highlight news from the cannabis industry both regionally and nationally, and feature regular guest experts.

Our stories are written by those who are entrenched in this field and who are helping to shape the future of this industry. The Pennsylvania Cannabis News senior editors are seasoned contributors who are well-versed in online and traditional publication work from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences.
