Recreational cannabis dispensaries are prohibited in DeKalb. Low-THC oil is dispensed only by a small number of state-licensed independent pharmacies under the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission.
Georgia does not permit recreational marijuana dispensaries. Low-THC oil (0.3% to 5% THC) may be dispensed only by pharmacies and manufacturing licensees authorized by the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission under the 2019 Hope Act. A limited number of independent pharmacies in metro Atlanta (and by extension in DeKalb) carry low-THC oil for registered patients. Retail cannabis sales for general public consumption are criminally prosecuted. Hemp-derived CBD products with less than 0.3% THC are legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and O.C.G.A. §16-12-190 and are sold through ordinary retail channels in DeKalb. Delta-8/Delta-10 THC products exist in a gray zone being actively legislated.
Unlicensed cannabis sales: felony under O.C.G.A. §16-13-30(j)(1) — up to 30 years for trafficking. Property used for sales may be subject to civil asset forfeiture.
