Georgia restricts cannabis-related retail sales to state-licensed independent pharmacies and dispensary locations approved by the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission, with caps on the number of statewide licenses.
Under O.C.G.A. Title 16, Chapter 12, Article 6 (the Georgia Hope Act), only producers and dispensaries licensed by the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission may sell low-THC oil to registered patients. Independent pharmacies may also dispense once registered with the State Board of Pharmacy. Recreational dispensaries are not legal anywhere in Georgia. Local governments retain zoning authority over the siting of state-licensed dispensaries (such as setbacks from schools) but cannot authorize unlicensed retailers or recreational sales.
Selling cannabis or THC products outside the state-licensed system is a felony under O.C.G.A. 16-13-30, with prison sentences and forfeiture of inventory and equipment.
