What this means in Georgia

Limited low-THC oil only
Access restricted to qualifying conditions and tightly controlled CBD/low-THC formulations.
Recreational is illegal
Possession of THC-rich flower or products remains a criminal offense.

Rules vary by city and county. Possession limits, public-use rules, and home-grow caps should be verified with your state's cannabis control board before relying on this.
