Schedule an appointment to see a medical marijuana doctor in GA through Veriheal at a time that is most convenient for you. Provide basic medical history and book your appointment with a licensed medical marijuana doctor. You will need medical records and the doctor(s) can approve any qualifying condition.
Consult with a doctor for 10-15 minutes to evaluate your ailments, and ask any questions you may have about medical marijuana treatment. After the appointment is complete and if you are approved, the doctor will fill out a waiver form (signed by you and the doctor) and a physician certification form for medical marijuana. Once you have this you can then apply to the state.
*Note that the doctor will electronically send these forms directly to the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH), and the Georgia DPH will review the information.
The Georgia DPH will review your information and create your Low THC Oil Registry Card. A representative from the Office of Vital Records will contact you. You will then choose which of the Public Health Offices across the state you would like to visit to pick up your card.
In Georgia, patients will need to renew their card every five years by seeing a licensed physician again. Veriheal will get in touch with you when your certification is approaching its expiration to help you setup a renewal consultation.

Dispensaries generally charge $30-$60 average for tinctures and capsules.6
This number represents the total number of licensed producers of low-THC oil in Georgia.$233.6 million
Low-THC oil purchases are subject to 4% excise tax.In April 2023, the first legal medical cannabis dispensaries opened in Georgia. Qualifying patients can now purchase low-THC cannabis oil at a licensed dispensary with their registry card. Toward the end of August 2023, the Georgia government approved licenses for three new dispensaries, bringing the total number of dispensaries up to ten.
Georgia HB1, also called Haleigh’s Hope Act, was enacted in the 2015-2016 legislative session, enabling Georgia locals to legally consume medical cannabis for certain qualifying conditions. Unlike other states, Georgia sets itself apart with the “Low THC Oil Registry Card,” allowing cardholders to possess up to 20 fluid ounces of the medicinal prescription if they have a qualifying condition certified by a physician.
The Georgia Department of Health reports explicitly that the Peach State “law is much more limited than some other states’ medical marijuana laws.” It is. Georgia prohibits the purchase or possession of cannabis in flower form, nor does it allow edibles or vape pens. What the southeastern state has done is address decriminalizing the possession of cannabis, fining citizens rather than having them serve jail time.
While Georgia continues to certify citizens to purchase low THC oil legally, Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney asked Gov. Ralph Northam in August 2020 to legalize marijuana in the August 18th General Assembly, reports WRIC news. Like many states that have legalized cannabis for medicinal purposes, Georgia officials are beginning to push for full recreational use, though a spat of unresolved license lawsuit is slowing the process down.
More than a dozen qualifying conditions make Georgia residents eligible to receive a THC-oil registry card. The state certifies patients who have:
Aside from having a qualifying condition, Georgia residents must also meet additional state requirements for a THC-oil registry card. Patients must be able to supply a current driver’s license or state identification card showing proof of residency. After approval for certification and a $25 registration fee, the Georgia Department of Public Health contacts registered cardholders, who must pick up their certification from one of 20 statewide offices.
The Georgia Department of Public Health states that in order to legally possess low-THC cannabis oil, you must be on the national registry. There are two forms to be completed and sent in: one is a waiver to be signed by the applicant and the physician, and the other is a medical certification form to be filled out by a doctor. The doctor submits the form, and if the state approves, the Georgia DPH will notify the applicant that they can pay for a Low THC Oil Registry Card from a neighboring public health office for $25.
Like the patient, a caregiver must also consult with a physician and provide proof of residence to be able to register for a low THC-oil card with the Georgia DPH in order to purchase or possess the prescription for their loved one. The registration fee is $25 and the registration remains valid for five years after approval. DPH defines caregivers as the parent, guardian, or legal guardian of an individual under the age of 18 or an adult’s legal guardian.
Georgia law only allows the legal possession of up to 20 fluid ounces of low THC cannabis oil (high CBD) for residents who have a registered state card. According to the state, “It does not make the sale or possession of all types of marijuana legal in Georgia,” and sale or possession of other types of cannabis other than low THC oil remains a violation of state and federal regulations. Additionally, possession and cultivation of an entire plant is not permitted.
