Find a Certifying Provider

To access medical cannabis in Georgia, you need a written certification from a licensed Georgia physician. GMCS connects patients with providers who understand the registry process and can evaluate your qualifying condition.

How the Certification Process Works

  1. Confirm Your Qualifying Condition

    Georgia law lists specific qualifying conditions for the Low THC Oil Registry. Review the list to confirm your diagnosis qualifies before scheduling an appointment.

  2. Schedule a Physician Evaluation

    Book an appointment with a certifying physician — in-person or via telehealth. Bring your medical records, diagnosis documentation, and a valid Georgia ID.

  3. Receive Your Written Certification

    If the physician determines you qualify, they will issue a written certification. This document is required to register with the Georgia Low THC Oil Registry.

  4. Register with the State

    Submit your certification to the Georgia Department of Public Health to receive your Low THC Oil Registry card. Processing typically takes 15 business days.
