How to renew my Georgia marijuana card

Need to renew your Georgia medical marijuana card? Your low THC-oil registry card is valid for five years. You’ll want to initiate the renewal process before it officially expires. The process for low THC-oil registered patients to renew their card is very similar to getting the card for the first time. You can see step-by-step instructions and kick off the process on our Georgia renewal page.

Legal limitations for cardholders

Here are some important Georgia medical marijuana laws to know to safely use your card in line with state and federal law:

  • Georgia’s Medical Marijuana Laws: In 2019, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed into law House Bill 234, which established the creation of the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission. The Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission approved the licenses of two companies — Trulieve and Botanical Sciences — to sell select low-THC medical marijuana products to registered medical marijuana patients. Trulieve opened the first of the two medical marijuana dispensaries. Eligible patients may possess up to 20 ounces of low THC cannabis oil. Medical cannabis products that patients can find in the dispensary include tinctures, topicals, and capsules.
  • Recreational Cannabis is Illegal:  Although adult-use recreational cannabis remains illegal in Georgia, some cities and counties within the state have decriminalized cannabis at a local level, including the cities of Atlanta, Clarkston, Forest Park, Savannah, South Fulton, Statesboro, unincorporated Fulton County, and Macon-Bibb County. Nevertheless, you cannot legally buy recreational cannabis in these or any other cities within Georgia.
  • Cultivation is Illegal: Growing marijuana is illegal, even for medical cardholders. You must buy medical marijuana products from licensed medical marijuana dispensaries.
  • CBD and Delta-8 Laws: Although Georgia’s medical cannabis program is one of the strictest in the country, other cannabis-related products are allowed under current laws. While there have been efforts by some government officials to crack down on sales of delta-8 products, you can still legally purchase such products as of right now.

How to become a caregiver

Georgia law defines a caregiver as a parent, guardian, or legal custodian of an individual under 18 or the legal guardian of an adult.

To serve as a medical marijuana patient’s caregiver in Georgia, you’ll need to provide the following information to the patient’s certifying physician:

    • Full name
    • Current address and phone number
    • Email address

Caregivers must pay a nonrefundable $25 fee when picking up their card from the public health office.

Can you use a Georgia medical card in other states?

Georgia does not have reciprocity with other states. However, according to the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission, Georgia recognizes out-of-state medical patients who have been in the state for fewer than 45 days and possess a valid registration card issued by another state that allows the same possession of low THC oil.

The following states and territories recognize out-of-state medical marijuana cards:

  • Arizona
  • Arkansas *
  • Delaware
  • Hawaii *
  • Louisiana
  • Maine
  • Michigan (at the dispensary’s discretion)
  • Nevada
  • New Hampshire
  • New Jersey *
  • New Mexico
  • Oklahoma *
  • Puerto Rico
  • Rhode Island
  • U.S. Virgin Islands *
  • Utah * (up to two 21-day periods in a calendar year)
  • Washington, D.C.

*Visitors must complete a visiting patient application with the state medical marijuana program.
