Cannabis Commission Holds Statewide Patient Listening Tour

The Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission is hosting a statewide Patient Listening Tour to engage with patients, caregivers, health professionals, and interested parties about the progress of Georgia's medical cannabis program. The tour includes sessions at 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 6 at Kennesaw State University, Nov. 14 at Macon Middle Georgia State University, and Nov. 21 at Lanier Technical College. These sessions aim to gather input to enhance the program, established under Georgia's Hope Act of 2019, which legalized medical cannabis and set up the Commission as the regulatory body. The Act allows the Commission to license up to six companies for cultivation, manufacture, and dispensing, with licenses expanding as the patient registry grows. The Georgia Department of Public Health oversees the registry and issues cards to patients and caregivers. Licensed companies such as Botanical Sciences and Trulieve GA will also participate, providing insights into their operations and products.
