Georgia Lawmakers Advance Medical Marijuana Cultivation Bill, More Hearings May Follow

The Georgia Statehouse has proven challenging for medical marijuana supporters.

Georgia

A group of Georgia lawmakers voted to push a medical marijuana cultivation bill further through the legislature, but the Gold Dome has proven a tough climate for growing cannabis.

Macon Republican state Rep. Allen Peake wants the state to issue up to two licenses to grow cannabis and manufacture a liquid from it. State law allows Georgians who have a doctor's recommendation and a state medical marijuana card to possess that oil for the treatment of symptoms of any of several diagnoses, including late-stage cancer.

"What we've attempted to do in House Bill 645 is do what 30 other states have done, which is enact infrastructure for growing of marijuana for medicinal purposes only," said Peake, so that the roughly 3,400 Georgians who are registered can get it.
