Georgia Decrimilization

The means of reducing or eliminating criminal penalties (such as jail time) for possessing small amounts of marijuana, typically replacing them with civil fines or community service. It is not legalized and remains illegal under state law except in narrow medical contexts.

Recreational marijuana remains illegal statewide.

  • Possession of less than 1 ounce is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 1 year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. 
  • Possession of more than one ounce is a felony, carrying a sentence of 1–10 years of imprisonment.
  • Marijuana concentrates (e.g., oils, edibles, vape cartridges) are treated more severely. Small amounts can trigger felony charges.

Medical cannabis is limited.

  • Since 2015, Georgia has allowed the use of low‑THC oil (< 5% THC, ≥5% CBD) for a limited set of qualifying conditions under the Haleigh’s Hope Act. 
  • In 2019, the state permitted in-state cultivation and licensed dispensaries, and in 2021 allowed tinctures, patches, lotions, and capsules.
  • Raw flower, edibles, smokable or vaporized forms remain prohibited. 
  • A 2025 Senate bill (SB 220) passed to expand the program (allow inhalation, raise THC cap to 50%, add conditions), but the House has not yet passed it, so it remains pending into 2026.
