Georgia law prohibits home cultivation of marijuana for any purpose, including by registered low-THC oil patients, and this prohibition preempts any conflicting local ordinance attempting to authorize personal grows.
Under O.C.G.A. Title 16, Chapter 13, marijuana cultivation, possession of more than one ounce, and manufacture remain felonies. Georgia's Hope Act (O.C.G.A. Title 16, Chapter 12, Article 6) authorizes only licensed Class 1 and Class 2 producers to cultivate cannabis for low-THC oil sold to registered patients. Patients holding a Low THC Oil Registry card may possess up to 20 fluid ounces of qualifying oil but cannot grow plants at home. Cities and counties cannot authorize personal cultivation or recreational possession; municipal decriminalization measures address fines for small possession only and do not legalize growing.
Cultivating any amount of marijuana is a felony punishable by 1 to 10 years' imprisonment under O.C.G.A. 16-13-30, in addition to asset forfeiture exposure.
