Georgia has long had one of the most restrictive medical cannabis programs in the country. SB 220 is the most significant expansion of that program to date.
The Georgia House passed an amended version of SB220 on Thursday in a bipartisan 138-21 vote. The bill now heads back to the Senate for concurrence before the session ends on April 4, 2026.
As amended by the House, the legislation would:
Replace the current 5% THC potency cap with a possession limit of 12,000 milligrams of THC at any one time
Allow vaporization as a delivery method for patients 21 and older
Add lupus, severe arthritis, and severe insomnia to qualifying conditions
Remove…
With the recent federal actions to potentially reclassify cannabis as a Schedule III substance, now is the time for Georgia to expand its very limited low-THC program.
On April 20, Delaware State University’s female lacrosse team was traveling back from end-of-season games in Florida. While driving on I-95 North outside of Savannah, the team’s bus was pulled over for driving in the left lane on the interstate. Delaware State is a Historically Black University, and the driver and most of the students were Black.
Exciting news! Today, for the first time ever, the Delaware Senate passed a legalization bill — HB 371 — in a 13-7 vote. HB 371 would simply legalize possession of up to one ounce of cannabis for adults 21 and older in Delaware. It passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee just one day earlier.
While cannabis policy reform is sweeping the country, Georgia remains one of only 19 states that still imposes jail time for simple possession of cannabis.
Ask your lawmakers to decriminalize or legalize cannabis before they adjourn!
On June 15, the Georgia Senate Democratic Caucus proposed the Georgia Justice Act — a broad measure that includes more than a dozen provisions to address police brutality and racism. One of those provisions is reducing the penalty for simple possession of marijuana to a fine with no jail time.
The legislature is expected to adjourn tomorrow, so the clock is ticking.
