Growing marijuana at home is a felony in Columbia County. Georgia permits no home cultivation, even for registered low-THC-oil patients, and growing plants is manufacturing marijuana, punishable by one to ten years in prison.
Georgia law leaves no room for a home grow in Columbia County. Under O.C.G.A. §16-13-30(j), it is unlawful to manufacture marijuana, and cultivating cannabis plants is treated as manufacturing, a felony carrying one to ten years in prison. Georgia's only medical program is the Low THC Oil Registry under the Hope Act (O.C.G.A. §16-12-190 et seq.), which lets registered patients possess low-THC oil under 5 percent THC from licensed sources; it does not let anyone grow their own plants. Smokable marijuana flower and home cultivation remain illegal, and no county ordinance can permit what state law makes a crime.
Cultivating marijuana is manufacturing under O.C.G.A. §16-13-30(j), a felony punishable by one to ten years in prison; larger grows and any intent to distribute raise the exposure further.
