How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Georgia

Marijuana is not legal in Georgia. The state only authorizes the legal possession of up to 20 fluid ounces of Low THC Oil (≤5% THC) by certified persons listed on the Low THC Oil Registry, administered by the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) under OCGA §31-2A-18. Georgia’s program is called the Low THC Oil Registry, established in 2015 by Haleigh’s Hope Act (House Bill 1).

The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) manages the Low THC Oil Registry. Unlike most states, patients in Georgia do not register directly with the state – instead, the certifying physician submits all patient information electronically into the registry on the patient’s behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Marijuana in Georgia

Is medical marijuana legal in Georgia?

No. Marijuana is not legal in Georgia. The state only authorizes the legal possession of up to 20 fluid ounces of Low THC Oil (≤5% THC) for persons with a valid Low THC Oil Registry Card issued by the Georgia Department of Public Health. Possession of any other form of marijuana – including flower, edibles, and concentrates – remains a criminal offense under state and federal law.

Is there a possession limit for a medical marijuana card in Georgia?

Yes. Registered patients and caregivers may legally possess up to 20 fluid ounces of low-THC oil at any time. The oil must be in a pharmaceutical container labeled by the manufacturer showing the THC percentage, and the THC content must not exceed 5% by weight.

Can patients grow marijuana in Georgia?

No. Georgia law strictly forbids home cultivation of marijuana, regardless of registry status. All low-THC oil must be purchased from licensed dispensaries (called ‘pharmacies’) authorized by the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission (GMCC).

Where can patients buy medical marijuana in Georgia?

Registered patients may purchase Low THC Oil exclusively from licensed pharmacies authorized by the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission (GMCC). Georgia does not authorize the sale of marijuana flower, edibles, or any other form of cannabis – only low-THC oil and low-THC oil products are permitted.

Do patients need a medical marijuana card in Georgia?

Yes. You must have an active Low THC Oil Registry Card before legally possessing low-THC oil. Possession without a valid card remains illegal and prosecutable under Georgia law, even for patients with a qualifying condition who have not yet completed registration.

How long is an Georgia medical marijuana card valid?

The Low THC Oil Registry Card is valid for 1 year from the date the cardholder’s payment is processed. This is significantly longer than most other states’ medical cannabis cards.

Does Georgia recognize out-of-state medical marijuana cards?

Only under very limited circumstances. Georgia may recognize a valid card from another state only if that state’s law allows the same possession of low-THC oil as Georgia law and the out-of-state patient has been in Georgia for less than 45 days.
