If in Georgia, you can opt for low THC oil on medical grounds

The wonder that is marijuana is now slowly getting recognized by the developed world. Researches leave no doubt that the not so innocent plant is no dark villain. It seems only a matter of time before more and more governments open up at least regarding medical use. Colorado State in USA created history by allowing recreational marijuana use too for those aged 21 and over.

Georgia patients in America please note

And now comes the Low THC Oil Registry for would be medical users in Georgia! THC is the active chemical that brings potency to the cannabis, magic and low doses would mean five or ten percent. The truth is that potent THC could have fifty and hashish oils even ninety. Georgia House Bill 1 stipulates the grant of the low THC oil to patients and caregivers who carry such an identity card.

How is the card obtained?

Patients have to consult with doctors regarding medical needs. If qualified and legitimate, they would be allowed to possess 20 fluid ounces of low THC oil but inside Georgia State. The information will be entered in the Registry for the purpose. The cards would be ready within a fortnight and the patient would be informed to collect the cards. Several public health offices exist spread out geographically in the state of Georgia. The card would cost $25 and that is the usual fee for obtaining such services.

How was the law passed?

Governor Nathan Deal signed the bill in April that authorizes the possession of marijuana oil for medical purposes. The oil is meant to treat eight diseases and some of them are cancer, seizures and sickle cell disease. The registration has now commenced within two months of the bill being signed. Strangely, some states took years over the question of medical marijuana. Some questions still remain like what happens if a patient required a higher dose of cannabis oil. That request cannot be accommodated in Georgia and patients would have to move to other states where it might be legal.

What about recreational marijuana?

It is obvious that laws can be misused. When medical marijuana is permitted, it is the green signal for backdoor dealing! In any case growing marijuana is legal for the oil extraction. It is a simple step to smoking or eating it in cookies and brownies illegally. Law enforcement authorities sometimes look the other way. It is clear that laws are opening up everywhere once the prejudice is gone. From villain to hero has been a long hard story for cannabis.
