What is Low THC oil?
Low THC oil is a form of medical cannabis oil that contains up to 5% THC and can be used to treat certain medical conditions. The state of Georgia legalized the use of low THC oil in 2015 under "The Hope Act" and since then, patients have found natural, safe relief without the use of addictive pharmaceuticals. In April 2019, Georgia legislators passed a bill to allow production and sales of low THC oil.
Georgia’s medical marijuana law allows certain qualified persons to legally possess up to 20 fluid ounces of low THC oil, which is derived from the marijuana plant. This law authorizes the Georgia Department of Public Health to issue a “Low THC Oil Registry Card” to qualified persons, which will prove that they are authorized to possess the oil and protect them from arrest.
