Cranberry Township has 5 dispensaries licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Only Pennsylvania residents with an active medical marijuana ID card, and their registered caregivers, may buy. There are no recreational sales, and an Ohio or other out-of-state card does not count. Every store shares the 16066 ZIP code, and three of them are on Route 19.
Cranberry Township is a Butler County suburb about 20 miles north of downtown Pittsburgh, where I-79 meets the Pennsylvania Turnpike. It is a township rather than a city, yet it has as many dispensaries as Erie or Allentown, because patients from Pittsburgh's North Hills, Butler County and Beaver County can all reach it quickly. The five stores belong to five operators: RISE, Ascend, Liberty, Trulieve and Zen Leaf, and four of them are rated 4.7 stars or higher.

Visiting a Dispensary in Cranberry Township: Card, ID, Payment and Hours
The check-in desk will ask for your Pennsylvania medical marijuana card and a matching Pennsylvania driver's license or state ID. If you have only just been certified, make sure you have paid for the card; certifications lapse if the card is not paid within 60 days. Some stores ask new patients to book their first visit. A pharmacist or physician is available during patient hours, in the store or over a live video connection. Cash and debit are the usual ways to pay.
Cranberry Township and Pennsylvania Cannabis Laws: Purchase Limits, Public Use and Driving
A patient can leave with no more than a 90-day supply, defined in regulations as 192 units. One unit is 3.5 grams of flower, 1 gram of concentrate, or 100 milligrams of THC in a pill, capsule, oil, liquid, tincture or topical. Refills open up in the last seven days of each 30-day period.
The flower sold here is for vaporizing; smoking medical marijuana is illegal in Pennsylvania, at home or anywhere else. There are no edibles for sale, although a patient or caregiver may mix medicine into food to make it easier to take. Keep products in the original packaging and carry your card. Because many Cranberry patients drive in on I-79 or the Turnpike, note that Pennsylvania's DUI law reaches any amount of THC or its metabolite in the blood, with no exception for cardholders. The rest is in our Pennsylvania marijuana laws guide.
Cannabis Taxes in Cranberry Township
Medical marijuana carries no sales tax, and we found no township or Butler County cannabis tax. The state's 5% gross receipts tax falls on growers and processors and is not added as a separate charge at the register. See our 2026 cannabis prices by state.
Medical Marijuana in Cranberry Township
Butler County residents get a card through the Department of Health: register online with a Pennsylvania license or ID, be certified by a registered practitioner, pay the $50 annual fee (free for many people on Medicaid, CHIP, SNAP, WIC or PACE/PACENET), then shop at any dispensary. A patient may name up to two caregivers.
Ohio is about an hour west. Ohio sells to adults 21 and older, but cannabis bought there is illegal to possess in Pennsylvania without a Pennsylvania card, and Ohio law has treated marijuana from out-of-state dispensaries as contraband since March 20, 2026.
Adult use: Not legal in Pennsylvania as of October 2026. HB 1200 passed the House 102 to 101 in 2025 and died in the Senate Law and Justice Committee, where SB 120 also remains.
