US - Georgia: House Bill 1425 was passed by the Senate and now heads to the governor for final approval.

Georgia only allows medical cannabis in the form of low-THC oil (up to 5% THC). HB 1425 would require the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission to issue licences on or before 31st May 2022.

14th March 2022
- US - Georgia: A lawsuit seeking to clarify the legality of delta-8 THC products in the state has been filed, press reports. The lawsuit reportedly stems from threats by the district attorney in Gwinnett County to prosecute those selling delta-8 products.

CBD-Intel’s analysis concludes that delta-8 products should be legal under Georgia law.
