What changed on July 1, 2026
Georgia widened its program this summer. If you looked into a card before, a few things are different now:
- The Low THC Oil Registry is now the Medical Cannabis Patient Registry. An unexpired Low THC Oil card stays valid until the date printed on it.
- Patients and caregivers may carry products with up to 12,000 mg of THC in total, and each package can hold up to 1,200 mg.
- Licensed sellers can offer oils, tinctures, capsules, patches, lotions and vaporizers, including cannabis flower made for vaporizing.
- Lupus and inflammatory bowel disease are on the list of qualifying conditions.
Some rules stay the same: smoking cannabis, cannabis candies and cookies, growing your own plants and recreational use are all still illegal in Georgia.
What it costs
- Your visit: $79, paid to MJCard. It covers the video visit and the registry paperwork.
- The state card fee: $30, paid to the Georgia Department of Public Health, plus $3.75 if you pay online. Insurance doesn't cover it. Caregivers pay the same fee for their own card.
If the doctor can't certify you at your visit, we'll refund your payment in full.
Keeping your card
Your card is valid for 5 years, and the expiration date is on the front. Georgia also expects your doctor to review your certification every year, so plan a short follow-up visit annually. If you move, change your name or lose your card, call the Georgia Medical Cannabis Program at (770) 909-2765.
Where to buy with your card
Take your card and photo ID to a dispensary licensed by the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission, or to a pharmacy licensed by the Georgia Board of Pharmacy to sell medical cannabis.
Atlanta and the rest of Georgia
MJCard's office is in Atlanta, at 2550 Heritage Ct SE, Suite 100-C, Atlanta, GA 30339. Your visit happens by video, so you can see a doctor from Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Columbus or anywhere in the state without traveling.
Visiting from another state?
Georgia has no full reciprocity. A card from another state may be recognized if you've been in Georgia for less than 45 days and your card allows what Georgia law allows. If you live in Georgia, you need a Georgia card.
