Trulieve plans to open a new medical cannabis dispensary in Evans, Georgia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalsciences.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Botanical Sciences<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is approved to open two new dispensary locations in Chamblee and Stockbridge, Georgia. The company will operate four dispensaries total across the state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The History of the Georgia Medical Cannabis Program<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Georgia\u2019s medical cannabis program started sales this past spring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Though Georgia is one of the last states to officially legalize medical cannabis, the state has been gradually reforming its laws around low-THC cannabis oil for qualifying patients.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, Georgia passed HB 1, also known as the Haleigh\u2019s Hope Act, allowing medical cannabis oil for medical use. The bill was enacted as soon as Governor Nathan Deal signed it, permitting possession for eight qualifying medical conditions but not allowing cultivation or distribution within the state.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, the state legislature expanded the law to include six more medical conditions, later adding intractable pain and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as qualifying conditions in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2019, House Bill 324 was approved, enabling in-state <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/protests-flare-in-georgia-after-cultivation-licenses-are-awarded\/\">cultivation<\/a> and the sale of low-THC oil. In 2021, SB 195 allowed the sale of cannabis tinctures, transdermal patches, lotions, and capsules but continued to prohibit edible products and flower.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, on April 28, 2023, the first licensed sales commenced with the opening of dispensaries in Marietta and Macon.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, Georgia&#8217;s medical cannabis program is designed to provide relief to individuals with specific medical conditions by allowing them to use a particular cannabis product known as &#8220;low THC oil.&#8221; This oil is derived from the cannabis plant but contains very low levels of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/uncovering-thc-the-cannabis-plants-most-famous-cannabinoid\/\">tetrahydrocannabinol<\/a> (THC), the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects or feeling &#8220;high.&#8221; This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-cannabis-tincture-and-why-they-are-beneficial\/\">cannabis oil<\/a> may not contain more than 5% THC. In simpler terms, it won&#8217;t make you feel intoxicated like recreational cannabis can.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To participate in the program, eligible individuals need to obtain a &#8220;Low THC Oil Registry Card&#8221; from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dph.georgia.gov\/low-thc-oil-registry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Georgia Department of Public Health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This card serves as legal proof that they are authorized to possess and use low-THC oil for their medical needs. Essentially, it protects them from being arrested or facing legal consequences for using this specific type of cannabis oil as prescribed by a qualified healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The medical conditions that qualify for this program typically include severe and debilitating conditions like epilepsy, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson&#8217;s disease, among others. The program aims to offer therapeutic benefits to patients who might find relief from their symptoms through low-THC oil, all within the framework of state laws and regulations. Essentially, it&#8217;s a way for individuals with these medical conditions to access treatment without fear of breaking the law.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Georgia Medical Cannabis Landscape: Growth Incoming<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The three newly issued licenses will bring the number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/dispensaries\/region\/georgia\/\">cannabis dispensaries in Georgia<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0to 10 in total.
