Low-THC Oil Patient FAQs ➚
NOTE: Low-THC oil cards and the patient registry are managed by the Georgia Department of Public Health. The Commission does not process or issue cards for the Low-THC Oil Patient Registry.
Low THC oil is a form of medical cannabis oil that contains up to 5% THC and can be used to treat certain medical conditions. The state of Georgia legalized the use of low THC oil in 2015 under "The Hope Act" and since then, patients have found natural, safe relief without the use of addictive pharmaceuticals. In April 2019, Georgia legislators passed a bill to allow production and sales of low THC oil.
Georgia’s medical marijuana law allows certain qualified persons to legally possess up to 20 fluid ounces of low THC oil, which is derived from the marijuana plant. This law authorizes the Georgia Department of Public Health to issue a “Low THC Oil Registry Card” to qualified persons, which will prove that they are authorized to possess the oil and protect them from arrest.
At this time Georgia doesn't have any dispensaries to provide the medical cannabis oil.

Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cannabaceae. The number of species within the genus is disputed. Three species may be recognized: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis ruderalis; Cannabis ruderalis may be included within C. sativa; all three may be treated as subspecies of a single species, Cannabis. sativa; or Cannabis. sativa may be accepted as a single undivided species. The genus is widely accepted as being indigenous to and originating from Central Asia, with some researchers also including upper South Asia in its origin. {REF}
Common Types of Cannabinoids Found in Cannabis
Tetrahydrocannabinol is one of at least 113 cannabinoids identified in cannabis. THC is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis. Although the chemical formula for THC describes multiple isomers, the term THC usually refers to the Delta-9-THC isomer with chemical name-trans-Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol. Like most pharmacologically active secondary metabolites of plants, THC is a lipid found in cannabis, assumed to be involved in the plant's evolutionary adaptation, putatively against insect predation, ultraviolet light, and environmental stress." {REF} Delta-8-THC is, "Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-8-THC, Δ -THC) is a psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is an isomer of Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-9-THC, Δ -THC), the compound commonly known as THC. Delta-8-THC has antiemetic, anxiolytic, orexigenic, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties." {REF} Delta-8-THC is legal in the federally in the USA whileDelta-9-THC is illegal federally but legal in some states in the USA in some form.

THCV is a new potential treatment against obesity-associated glucose intolerance with pharmacology different from that of CB1 inverse agonists/antagonists.[6] GW Pharmaceuticals is studying plant-derived tetrahydrocannabivarin (as GWP42004) for type 2 diabetes in addition to metformin {REF}
The benefits of CBN are manifold. First and foremost, CBN is by far the most potent sedative of any identified marijuana compound. It may help you get a restful night’s sleep without the grogginess or side effects of prescription sleeping pills. Evidence of its ability to treat insomnia goes back as far as 1976. A study from 1995 on insomniac mice all but proved its efficacy concerning promoting better sleep.
As a result, one of the primary uses of CBN is to treat insomnia. As we mentioned above, it is even more sedative than Valium. THC-high marijuana strains that also contain CBN and myrcene may be good options if you’re sleep-deprived.
CBN is synergistic with D9THC and CBD regarding sleep inducement. When you combine it in the right ratios, it may provide at least 6 hours of sleep without you waking up feeling drowsy. {REF}
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a chemical compound from the Cannabis sativa plant, which is also known as marijuana or help, according to the US National Library of Medicine.
It's a naturally occurring substance that's used in products like oils and edibles to impart a feeling of relaxation and calm. Unlike its cousin, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the major active ingredient in marijuana, CBD is not psychoactive. {REF}
CBG has been found to act on very specific physiological systems and problems, and results for medicinal use are promising:
Cannabichromene, or CBC, doesn’t get a lot of praise or attention, but it has shown to have profound benefits. Similar to cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBC stems from the all-important cannabigerolic acid (CBGa). From there, enzymes cause it to convert into or cannabichrome carboxylic acid (CBCa). In this case of CBCa, it passes through the CBC synthase (the enzymes that gets the specific process underway). Over time, or if exposed to heat CBCa with break down and become cannabichromene, through a process known as decarboxylation.
"On April 2, 2019, the Georgia General Assembly passed House Bill 324 titled "Georgia's Hope Act," which authorizes the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission to oversee the regulated licensing of limited, in-state cultivation, production, manufacturing, and sale of low-THC oil as well as dispensing to registered patients on the state's Low-THC Oil Registry. Governor Kemp signed the bill into law on April 17, 2019. Georgia's Hope Act (Official Code of Georgia Annotated §16-12) took effect July 1, 2019. The Commission is administratively attached (O.C. G. A. § 16-12-202, § 50-4-3) to the Office of the Georgia Secretary of State.
The first Commission Members were appointed in November, 2019. Seven Members serve on the Commission: the Chair and two Members are appointed by the Governor, two Members are appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, and two Members appointed by the Speaker of the House. The Commission was appropriated funds as a new State of Georgia government agency by the Georgia General Assembly in 2019. The Commission selected from four candidates vetted by The Goodwin Group, a national search firm, and appointed an Executive Director in May, 2020." {Site}
