A Guide to Celebrating 4/20 at Pittsburgh Dispensaries

It's that time of year again - happy 4/20! This date is a celebration of all things cannabis-related, from the plant itself to the many products and ways people enjoy it. Here at Party on Butler, we support responsible cannabis use and believe in its positive effects on individuals and communities.

Types of Cannabis

There are different types of weed that people prefer based on their effects, potency, and overall experience. Delta 8, delta 9, and delta 10 are all different forms of THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis. Delta 8 is known to be less potent than delta 9 and delta 10, and it's often used for a more subtle and relaxing experience. Delta 9 is the most well-known form of THC, and it's responsible for the "high" feeling people associate with cannabis. Delta 10 is a newer form of THC, and its effects are still being studied.

CBD, on the other hand, is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis that is known for its therapeutic effects. CBD is often used for pain relief, anxiety reduction, and relaxation.

Is weed legal in PA?

The legality of cannabis in America is a complex issue. While it's still illegal at the federal level, many states have legalized cannabis for medical and/or recreational use. In Pennsylvania, medical cannabis is legal with a medical card. You can purchase up to a 30-day supply of cannabis products from a licensed dispensary. Still, without a medical card, you can purchase CBD products and certain Delta 8 and 10 products that give you similar effects.

Dispensaries and CBD Shops in Pittsburgh

If you're looking for a dispensary in Pittsburgh, you have several options to choose from. We’ve included both dispensaries that require medical cards as well as ones that offer more mild CBD and Delta 8 products:

Hippie & French

Hippie & French is Pittsburgh’s premier, women-owned cannabis boutique. In Lawrenceville, they sell CBD and THC products including flower, gummies, edibles, bath products, skincare, and more as well as accessories like water pipes, grinders, papers, and lighters. With a warm and welcoming storefront, they aim to make customers feel as comfortable as possible while making the product accessible. You do NOT need a medical card to visit Hippie & French.

Total Peace & Wellness

Located in Lawrenceville, Total Peace and Wellness provides high-quality hemp CBD products including their own line of tinctures, balms, gummies, oils, and more. In addition to creating a welcoming space, they prioritize education on the science of the plant. No medical card required!

Liberty Cannabis

Liberty Cannabis has three locations in Pittsburgh: Aliquippa, Cranberry, and Dormont. Designed to be a “safe, educational, retail space,” this dispensary has it all from flower to edibles to extracts. Keep in mind that you need a medical card to visit Liberty Cannabis, but they have resources on their website that guide you through getting one. 

Beyond Hello

Located on East Carson Street in Southside, Beyond Hello offers a wide variety of medical marijuana products. They provide individualized experiences to customers through friendly and well-trained staff that can help answer any questions and provide services. Once again, you need a medical card to purchase from Beyond Hello.

Sunnyside Dispensary

This medical card-only dispensary is located on Penn Ave. in the Strip District. Offering flower, vapes, ingestibles, concentrates, and more, Sunnyside provides “education and a judgment-free zone” while cannabis shopping. They’re right next to the Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Education Center, a space where community members can learn about medical marijuana and take the steps to get a card.

We hope this guide has been helpful in finding a dispensary in Pittsburgh that suits your needs. Whether you're looking for medical cannabis or just want to celebrate 4/20 in style, there are plenty of options available to you.
