    You should just look it up on norml.org for yourself really.

    Basically though, GA has a very restrictive MMJ program with only low THC oil allowed at all and something like 6 dispensaries total in the whole state… Nothing like Colorado, Oregon, or New Mexico at all.

    The option for pharmacies to dispense the super low THC oil was an idea to expand access in the state.

      I’m aware and it’s not surprising that they have an anemic MMJ program. If they wanted to expand access, there are plenty of other states to emulate vs. handing business to Walgreens and CVS. Perhaps just expand the number of dispensaries.
