Cannabis in GeorgiaEverything You Need to Know

  • Georgia Marijuana Laws

    Here’s a list of penalties for possession, sale, and distribution of marijuana, concentrate, or paraphernalia in Georgia.

    • Marijuana is not a scheduled substance but is regulated under the Georgia Controlled Substances Act.
    • Federally, cannabis is still considered a Schedule I Controlled Substance
    • Personal use possession of up to one ounce is punishable by a maximum fine of 1,000 USD and one year or less of incarceration
    • Sales of any kind is a Felony, and penalties range from one to forty years of incarceration and 5,000 USD to 1,000,000 USD fine, depending on pounds.
    • Cultivation of any kind is a Felony, and penalties range from one to forty years of incarceration and 5,000 USD to 1,000,000 USD fine, depending on pounds.

  • Cannabis Policy Reform Timeline

    • 1970: The State of Georgia allowed the conduction of legal cannabis trials on cancer patients
    • 1980: The Senate and House passed Mona Taft’s bill supporting medical marijuana in Georgia for people diagnosed with glaucoma and cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. However, the medical program never got off the ground. Subsequent Georgia governors had the authority to reappoint the board but didn’t act on it. This resulted in the law lingering on the books for 30 years.
    • 2015: The low-THC cannabis oil was legalized for medical use in the state under Haleigh’s Hope Act. The bill allowed possession of the oil for eight qualifying medical conditions but did not provide for cultivation or distribution within the state.
    • 2017: An expansion under SB 16 added six more qualifying conditions, including intractable pain and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
    • 2019: Legislation was approved to allow the cultivation of cannabis and the sale of low-THC oil.

  • Possession Limits in GA

    • Cannabis possession is not allowed recreationally; possession of twenty fluid ounces of low THC oil is legal for medical patients.

    • Once approved, you’ll visit a Public Health Office to pay 25.00 USD. Then, you can pick up a medical cannabis card valid for two years from the issue date.
    • In Georgia, a medical CBD patient must be an adult with one or more qualifying conditions, the legal guardian of an adult with a qualifying condition, or the parent of a minor child with one or more qualifying conditions.
