Augusta Medical Marijuana Cards Online

According to the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission, three categories of medical marijuana patients may apply for a Georgia Low-THC Medical Card after consulting with a certified medical marijuana doctor:

• An adult patient with one (or more than one) diagnosis of a qualifying health condition with medical records.
• The legal guardian(s) of an adult in their care with one or more qualifying health conditions.
• The parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of a minor (under the age of eighteen years) who has one or more of the qualifying medical conditions.
• All patients must be certified by a medical marijuana doctor licensed to practice in Georgia before joining the patient registry. Qualified patients must be a resident of the state of Georgia for at least one year to join the patient registry.

• Cancer, when such diagnosis is end-stage or the treatment produces related wasting illness or recalcitrant nausea and vomiting
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, when such diagnosis is severe or end-stage
• Seizure disorders related to the diagnosis of epilepsy or trauma-related head injuries
• Multiple sclerosis, when such diagnosis is severe or end-stage
• Crohn’s disease
• Mitochondrial disease
• Parkinson’s disease, when such diagnosis is severe or end-stage
• Sickle cell disease, when such diagnosis is severe or end-stage
• Tourette’s syndrome, when such syndrome is diagnosed as severe
• Autism spectrum disorder, when (a) the patient is 18 years of age or more, or (b) the patient is less than 18 years of age and diagnosed with severe autism
• Epidermolysis bullosa
• Alzheimer’s disease, when such disease is severe or end-stage
• AIDS when such syndrome is severe or end-stage

• The qualified patient is in a hospice program, either as an inpatient or outpatient

• Post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from direct exposure to or witnessing a trauma for a patient who is at least 18 years of age

Patients must be eighteen or older, with a recent diagnosis of one (or more than one) qualifying health condition to apply for a Georgia Medical Marijuana Card. Minors require a registered parent or guardian caregiver before they may participate in the Georgia medical cannabis program.

Patients must have valid government-issued photo identification (such as a driver’s license) to apply. You must also provide proof of residency in the state of Georgia.

If approved, the patient will receive the Low THC Cannabis Oil Waiver via email. This form must be signed and notarized. Patients are then required to return the form to DocMJ.

When approved, the Georgia Department of Health Office of Vital Records contacts the patient via email and provides directions to the nearest Public Health office to pick up the Low-THC Oil Registry Card. There are twenty (20) locations where patients may pick up their Georgia Medical Marijuana Card.

A patient with a valid Georgia Low-THC Registration Card may possess 20 fluid ounces or less of Low THC cannabis oil. The container patients possess of cannabis oil must be the original sold by a licensed medical marijuana dispensary, and the percentage of THC must be clearly labeled.

The average waiting period between the submission of forms and the medical marijuana recommendation and decision by the Georgia DPH is fifteen days. The total processing time for your medical marijuana card may be longer depending on the volume of patient applications.

Georgia currently permits hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) products with 0.30% or less THC content. There is no restriction on how much CBD patients can legally possess.

The Low-THC Registry Card in Georgia must be renewed every two (2) years for the patient to legally purchase Low-THC oil or possess medical marijuana. However, medical marijuana patients are required to schedule a follow-up appointment with the medical marijuana physician after one year to review the medical cannabis recommendation and make any changes for the patient, if required.

There are two fees to apply for a Medical Marijuana Card in Georgia. The first is the appointment fee for the physician. DocMJ provides patient appointments for $139. We offer discounts to military veterans.

The second fee is $25, payable to the Georgia Department of Public Health. The registration fee is the same for adult patients, minors, and caregivers.

Patients are required to schedule a follow-up appointment with a licensed physician once per year.
