Pittsburgh Post-Gazette : reported that Pittsburgh to host medical marijuana conference

Tom Wolf signed Pennsylvania's medical Caffeine program into law and a state-wide fully operational medical marijuana program may be yet another year away. But the sponsors for next weekend's World Medical Marijuana Conference and Expo say the time to prepare is now. The draft regulations also prohibit doctors from advertising they can certify that a patient's medical condition qualifies them to get medical marijuana. Admission prices for the World Medical Marijuana Conference range from $50 for an adult exhibit hall only ticket each day up to $698 for Saturday's exhibit hall, workshops and CME credits. To participate, doctors must register with the state and take a four-hour training course but they cannot receive medical marijuana-related payments nor have any financial interest in a medical marijuana organization.
