ATLANTA - A new medical cannabis study committee will start work in the Georgia House this year, and it will look at ways to link qualified Georgians with the cannabis compounds that they say help relieve their medical problems.
House Speaker David Ralson, R-Blue Ridge, announced the formation of the group on Wednesday. The chair will be Macon Republican state Rep. Allen Peake, author of the state’s medical cannabis possession law.
“I think the naming of this committee just reinforces that this is a real priority for the House, a real priority for Speaker Ralston. And I think that’s a good thing for a lot of Georgia citizens who could potentially benefit,” Peake said.
The new group will be able to hold hearings, and its members will be able to file bills.
