Georgia Cannabis Compliance & Licensing
Informational summary of public regulatory information — not legal advice. Confirm current requirements with the state regulator before acting.
Georgia allows registered patients to possess low-THC cannabis oil (5 percent THC or less) under the 2015 Haleigh's Hope Act, and 2019's Georgia's Hope Act created licensed in-state production. The Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission oversees production licensees, and dispensing of low-THC oil to registered patients began in 2023. Smokable flower and standard-potency marijuana products remain illegal, and there is no adult-use program. Ancillary providers should treat Georgia as a narrow low-THC oil market with a small number of licensed producers rather than a full medical marijuana state.
