Frequently Asked Questions

Low-THC oil in Georgia must contain no more than 5% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the compound that causes a “high.” This oil is also rich in cannabidiol (CBD), which has therapeutic benefits without strong psychoactive effects.

To be eligible, you must be a Georgia resident with a qualifying medical condition that has been diagnosed by a physician. Adults can apply for themselves, and legal guardians can apply on behalf of minors.

Georgia has a specific list of approved conditions. This includes severe illnesses like cancer, seizure disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and intractable pain. For a complete and updated list, please visit our medical conditions page.

The first step is a consultation with a licensed Georgia physician. At Georgia MMJ Medics, we make this easy with our online telehealth platform. You can connect with a doctor from the comfort of your own home.

Once our doctor certifies that you have a qualifying condition, they will submit two forms—a waiver and a physician certification form—directly to the Georgia Department of Public Health on your behalf. There is no state application for you to fill out.

After your doctor submits the forms, the Georgia Department of Public Health will process them. It typically takes about 10-15 business days. Once your card is printed, they will call you to let you know it’s ready for pickup.

You will pick up your card from one of the 20 approved Public Health Offices in Georgia. The Department of Public Health will tell you which location to go to when they call you. You must bring your Georgia ID with you.

The cost includes the fee for your physician consultation and a separate $25 fee that you pay to the Public Health Office when you pick up your card.

No. The doctor’s consultation and the state’s card fee are not covered by health insurance plans and are paid for out-of-pocket.

Your Georgia Low-THC Oil Registry Card is valid for two years from the date it is issued.

To renew your card, you will need to be re-evaluated by a physician to confirm your condition still qualifies. After that, the doctor will submit the renewal paperwork to the state registry for you.

Cardholders can purchase low-THC oil from state-licensed dispensaries (also known as production facilities) in Georgia.

No. Even with a Georgia card, it is illegal to cross state lines with any cannabis product, including low-THC oil. Your card is only valid for possession within the state of Georgia.

The card provides you with legal protection, allowing you to possess low-THC oil without fear of legal penalties in Georgia. It’s the only way to legally access and use these products for your health.
