What Georgia DPH confirms
Georgia's Department of Public Health says the state's Medical Cannabis Patient Registry is for people certified by a fully licensed physician practicing in Georgia who have a qualifying condition. DPH describes the registry card as proof of authorization to possess medical cannabis under the program. It says only physician-certified patients and caregivers with an active card are legally allowed to possess medical cannabis.
Who the official page describes
The DPH page lists conditions it identifies as qualifying, including conditions with additional age or diagnostic qualifications. It also states a limit of up to 12,000 milligrams of THC for authorized patients or caregivers. Read the live agency page for exact eligibility details; do not treat this short summary as a determination that any person qualifies.
What this source does not answer
The DPH page is about the medical patient registry. It does not establish that general adult-use sales, possession, or travel are authorized. For a different state's code structure, see Ohio's current code guide, but never apply its rules in Georgia.
