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.

404 Day Block Party at Sine Die
What is Sine Die?
In Georgia, “Sine Die” marks the last day of the General Assembly’s Annual Legislative Session. After this day, no further legislative action can take place unless the governor calls a special session. It is often a hectic day as lawmakers push to finalize bills before the deadline.
What is 404 Day?
404 Day, celebrated on April 4th (4/04), is an unofficial holiday in Atlanta, Georgia, honoring the city’s culture, music, and community. The name comes from Atlanta’s primary area code, 404 and is a day to celebrate Atlanta’s influence in hip-hop, art, business, and activism, with events, concerts, and local gatherings highlighting the city’s unique identity.
Many Atlanta-based artists, brands, and community leaders participate in 404 Day to showcase the city’s pride and creativity.
With Sine Die marking the final push for bills in the General Assembly, the block party serves as both a celebration of Atlanta’s identity and a call to action for civic participation.
Join us on this powerful Day as we come together on legislative issues impacting our communities.
