Home cultivation of cannabis is ILLEGAL in Georgia. Even registered low-THC oil patients cannot grow their own plants. Cultivation charged as felony manufacture under GA §16-13-30(j).
Any cannabis cultivation — one plant or one hundred — is a felony in Georgia. Registered low-THC patients obtain oil only from state-licensed producers, not through home growing. Federal hemp rules (<0.3% THC) apply separately but require licensing. This home cultivation rule under Gwinnett County's cannabis ordinances applies to unincorporated areas of Gwinnett County. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Gwinnett County code enforcement directly or consult the official Georgia municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
Felony manufacture: 1-10 years prison and/or up to $100,000 fine for first offense. Probation possible for small amounts but not guaranteed.
