Schedule an appointment to see a medical marijuana doctor in GA through Veriheal at a time that is most convenient for you. Provide basic medical history and book your appointment with a licensed medical marijuana doctor. You will need medical records so the doctor(s) can approve any qualifying condition.
Consult with a doctor for 10-15 minutes to evaluate your ailments, and ask any questions you may have about medical marijuana treatment. After the appointment is complete and you are approved, the doctor will fill out a waiver form (signed by you and the doctor) and a physician certification form for medical marijuana. Once you have this, you can then apply to the state.
*Note that the doctor will electronically send these forms directly to the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH), and the Georgia DPH will review the information.
The Georgia DPH will create your Low THC Oil Registry Card, and a representative from the Office of Vital Records will contact you. You will then choose which of the Public Health Offices across the state you would like to visit to pick up your card.

Along with having one or more of the qualifying conditions, a patient must be able to prove they are a Georgia resident with a valid driver’s license or state identification card. Georgia charges $25 for annual registration, which is a separate fee from your approval/recommendation from a licensed doctor.

Getting a Georgia medical marijuana card with Veriheal costs a total of $224. Your $199 fee with Veriheal covers your consultation fee, physician copay, and the medical evaluation for your recommendation, with financing options. The state requires a $25 fee for registration.

Like the patient, a caregiver must also consult with a physician and provide proof of residence to be able to register for a low-THC oil card and purchase or possess the prescription for their loved one. The registration fee is $25, and the registration remains valid for five years after approval. DPH defines caregivers as the parent, guardian, or legal guardian of an individual under the age of 18 or an adult’s legal guardian.

Caregivers must be approved by the patient’s physician and pass a criminal background check.

Georgia law only allows the legal possession of up to 20 fluid ounces of low-THC cannabis oil (high CBD) for residents who have a registered state card. The sale or possession of other types of cannabis other than low-THC oil remains a violation of state and federal regulations.

Cultivation of medical cannabis for personal use is illegal in Georgia.
