Marijuana Cultivation
Private Cultivation: In Georgia, it remains illegal for any (unlicensed) person or entity to grow, cultivate, manufacture, or otherwise produce marijuana. It is worth mentioning that even growing a single, small plant in your backyard is cause for arrest.
Growing hemp? A thin line exception, growing hemp in Georgia, was passed in the 2014 Farm Bill. Any hemp grown must have a .3% THC level, thus making it non-viable for recreational or medicinal use.
Commercial Cultivation (Low THC Marijuana): The State of Georgia has granted cultivation licenses for a small number of commercial growers. These growers are licensed to manufacture low-THC medical cannabis oil. Manufacturers hold either a Class I or Class II license which is relative to the size of their facility. The THC level for any product is capped at 5%, and these products are for only medical use.
Is CBD Oil Legal in Georgia?
Per the weedmaps.com website, “CBD products are legal in Georgia, with the exception of CBD in foods, beverages, animal feed, or dietary supplements. The Georgia Hemp Farming Act, HB 213, which passed in May 2019, formally legalized the commerce of CBD products that conform with federal law requirements and contain 0.3% THC or less.”.
About making your own CBD oil: In order to make your own CBD oil or “tincture”, you must be in possession of marijuana. That fact alone makes it illegal for any person to undertake the process of creating CBD oil or a tincture, even if their intent is to create a low THC product.
