Is Delta 9 THC Legal in Georgia?
Georgia law allows hemp-derived cannabinoids—but not without confusion. Let’s break it down.
Legal Status of Hemp-Derived Delta-9
Georgia adopted the federal definition of hemp with the passage of HB 213 in 2019. Delta-9 THC from hemp is legal as long as:
-
It is derived from hemp
-
It contains ≤0.3% THC by dry weight
📘 HB 213 – Georgia Hemp Farming Act
However, Georgia law enforcement has occasionally cracked down on hemp-derived THC products, especially vapes, citing lack of clarity in enforcement guidelines.
Medical Marijuana Program
Georgia offers low-THC cannabis oil (≤5% THC) for qualified patients under state registry rules—but does not allow recreational use or access to high-THC products without medical certification.
