Glennville, GA: Select pharmacies have begun providing state-licensed cannabis products to qualified patients.
An independent pharmacy in Warner Robins, Georgia and another independent pharmacy in Tifton were reported to have been among the first in the state to engage in the sale of cannabis-specific products. About 130 independent pharmacies have entered partnerships to provide plant-derived low-THC products.
Low-THC/high CBD products have been legal to possess under state law since 2015. However, regulators failed to approve any licensed providers or dispensaries until earlier this year. In October, the state’s Board of Pharmacy began accepting applications from licensed pharmacies wishing to stock the products.
Chain drug stores will not be providing cannabis products.
About 14,000 Georgians are registered to access cannabis products for a variety of ailments, including autism, cancer, Crohn’s disease, seizure disorders, and Tourette syndrome.
