Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can I qualify for a medical cannabis card in Georgia?
To qualify for a medical cannabis card in Georgia, you must have one of the qualifying medical conditions as outlined by the state’s Department of Public Health. These conditions include, but are not limited to, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy. You will need to consult with a registered physician to receive a recommendation for medical cannabis use.
How do I find a registered physician for medical cannabis in Georgia?
You can find a registered physician by visiting the Georgia Department of Public Health’s website and searching their directory of physicians who are qualified to recommend medical cannabis. Alternatively, you can ask your primary care doctor if they are registered or if they can refer you to a physician who is.
What types of medical cannabis products are available in Georgia?
Georgia law allows for the sale of low-THC cannabis oil with a maximum concentration of 5% THC. Available products include tinctures, capsules, and topicals. Smoking or vaping of cannabis is currently not allowed under Georgia law.
Can I use my medical cannabis card from another state in Georgia?
Georgia allows you to use an out-of-state card only within 30 days of moving to Georgia. To access medical cannabis in Georgia after 30 days, you must obtain a Georgia-issued medical cannabis card.
How can I learn more about medical cannabis and its benefits?

How can I renew my medical cannabis card in Georgia?
Medical cannabis cards in Georgia need to be renewed annually. You will need to schedule an appointment with a registered physician who can confirm your continued eligibility for medical cannabis use. Following this, you will need to submit a renewal application to the Georgia Department of Public Health.
Can caregivers obtain a medical cannabis card in Georgia?
Yes; caregivers (parents or legal guardians) of patients can apply for medical cannabis cards. A Caregiver must be approved by the patient’s registered physician.
Is CBD oil the same as medical cannabis?
While CBD oil is produced by the cannabis plant, it is not the same as medical cannabis. Medical cannabis products may contain both CBD and THC, whereas CBD oil typically contains only CBD. In Georgia, low-THC oil (containing up to 5% THC) is classified as medical cannabis and requires a medical cannabis card for legal use.
What does “intractable pain” mean in Georgia’s medical cannabis context?
In the context of Georgia’s medical cannabis program, “intractable pain” is a term used to describe a type of persistent pain that remains unrelieved despite exhaustive efforts at treatment. Specifically, it refers to a pain condition where the underlying cause can’t be remedied, and the application of comprehensive pain management strategies for a minimum period of six months has either failed to provide sufficient relief or has resulted in side effects that are too severe to tolerate.
Does Atlanta, Georgia, have medical marijuana dispensaries?
Botanical Sciences will be opening three locations around the metro Atlanta area! They will include Marietta, Chamblee, and Stockbridge.
How much medical cannabis can I legally possess in Georgia?
Georgia law permits registered medical cannabis patients to possess up to 20 fluid ounces of low-THC oil. It’s important to note that possession of any form of cannabis exceeding this limit or any form of cannabis other than low-THC oil could result in legal penalties.
What documents do I need to bring to a Chamblee dispensary?
You need to present a valid Georgia Low THC Oil Registry Card and a photo ID, such as a driver’s license or a passport. Caregivers should bring their caregiver registry card and their ID, while out-of-state patients can use their home-state medical card and photo ID if they’ve been in Georgia for fewer than 45 days.
What are the THC limits for products sold at dispensaries in Chamblee?
Georgia law limits all medical cannabis products to 5% THC by weight, and the CBD amount must equal or exceed the THC content. We offer low-THC tinctures, capsules, topicals, and lozenges at our Chamblee dispensary. Registry cardholders can legally possess up to 20 fluid ounces of these approved medicines.
Can I travel with medical cannabis purchased in Chamblee?
No, transporting medical cannabis across state lines or through airports is illegal under federal law. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents will confiscate your products and notify law enforcement if discovered during screening. Your medical cannabis card doesn’t protect you from arrest or federal charges based on the quantity you’re carrying.
Are all dispensary products in Chamblee compliant with Georgia state regulations?
Yes, every product at Botanical Sciences complies with Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission standards. All items undergo independent laboratory testing to confirm accurate cannabinoid levels and ensure they’re free from harmful contaminants before reaching our shelves.
