Issue Position: Medical Cannabis

Issue Position

For the second consecutive year, legislation has been introduced to authorize the limited use of cannabis oil for the treatment of certain medical conditions, including childhood seizure disorders and chronic pain. HB 1, the "Haleigh's Hope Act," would strictly regulate the legal production of marijuana in Georgia to obtain the cannabis oil used in the treatments. The Senate failed to agree on the final language of a similar proposal that went through the legislative process during the 2014 session.
