The Shortest Road to Legal Weed Runs Through Georgia

December 4, 2020 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

Georgia medical cannabis

A Democratic Senate would be good for the cannabis industry, but it’s hopeful for reform regardless. Marijuana isn’t technically on the ballot in Georgia’s Jan. 5 Senate runoff elections. But it might as well be: Cannabis advocates and trade groups are zeroing in on the state in hopes of ousting—or converting to their cause—its two […]

Hemp bill leaves some cops unable to enforce marijuana laws in Georgia

July 14, 2020 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

Georgia medical cannabis

The General Assembly recently passed a bill to help police enforce marijuana laws without hindering the state’s young hemp farming industry. But prosecutors and police say it won’t change how they handle suspected marijuana cases. Possession of small amounts of marijuana will remain decriminalized in several jurisdictions, and a low priority in many others. Misdemeanor cases are more […]

Georgia bill advances for police to make arrests for hemp or marijuana

February 18, 2020 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

Police across Georgia would be empowered to arrest people for possession of small amounts of green leafy substances, even if they can’t tell whether it’s illegal marijuana or legal hemp, according to a bill that passed a state House committee Tuesday.

NEW: Medical marijuana sales approved by Georgia Legislature

April 3, 2019 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

The Georgia General Assembly passed a bill late Tuesday that allows medical marijuana sales, providing a way for patients to buy the drug that they’re already allowed to use. The legislation, House Bill 324, licenses private companies and universities to grow medical marijuana. Then pharmacies and possibly dispensaries could sell it to the state’s 8,400 registered […]
