Marijuana - Georgia

Medical marijuana

Georgia allows possession of marijuana in the form of low THC oil under certain circumstances. The person must be registered with the Department of Public Health and have a registration card issued by the Department of Public health. The individual must have been diagnosed with a qualified condition and authorized by a physician for treatment with low THC oil. A list of qualifying conditions is outlined in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, Title 31, Chapter 2A, Article 1.

Employers are not required to permit or accommodate the use, consumption, possession, transfer, display, transportation, sale, or growing of marijuana in any form. The law does not affect the ability of an employer to have a written zero tolerance policy prohibiting on-duty, and off-duty, use of marijuana. An employer may prohibit employees from having a detectable amount of marijuana in their system while at work.

Recreational marijuana

Georgia has no state laws legalizing recreational marijuana.
