Paulding County has no cannabis dispensaries because Georgia authorizes none for plant marijuana. The state's only legal outlet is low-THC oil, sold to registered patients through state-licensed producers and pharmacies, not retail marijuana stores.
Georgia does not authorize retail cannabis dispensaries, so there is nothing for Paulding County to zone for. Selling marijuana is a felony under O.C.G.A. §16-13-30. The narrow exception is low-THC oil under the Hope Act: the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission licenses a limited number of in-state producers, and registered patients holding a Department of Public Health card may possess up to 20 fluid ounces of oil below 5% THC. That product moves through licensed dispensing outlets and specialty pharmacies, not recreational stores. A storefront selling marijuana would face felony prosecution regardless of any local approval.
Selling marijuana is a felony under O.C.G.A. §16-13-30; an unlicensed cannabis retail operation faces prosecution and forfeiture. Only state-licensed low-THC-oil outlets operate legally, and Paulding County cannot authorize a marijuana dispensary.
