Georgia opens medical marijuana dispensaries for improved quality of life.
Georgia's first medical marijuana dispensaries have opened after years of legal challenges. Trulieve Cannabis Corp. opened stores in Macon and Marietta, with Botanical Sciences planning to open its first dispensary next month in Savannah. The Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission approved licenses to Trulieve and Botanical Sciences to sell low-THC oil to registered patients who suffer from severe seizures, Parkinson's and terminal cancer. Medical marijuana will be sold as cannabis oil packaged as liquid tinctures, topical creams or capsules. Recreational use remains illegal in the state.
