How to be a medical cannabis caregiver in Georgia

Some patients choose to have – or are required to have – a designated caregiver who can purchase and possess cannabis on their behalf. 

The only people allowed to become cannabis caregivers in Georgia are: 

  • the legal guardian of an adult who has a qualifying condition or
  • the parent or legal guardian of a child who has a qualifying condition.

In Georgia, your physician will enter your caregiver information into the state's registry if you need one. The physician is allowed to enter a maximum of two caregivers per patient. 

The caregiver will then be issued the low-THC oil registry card, which costs the same as a patient card, $25.

Caregivers are allowed to possess up to 20 ounces of low-THC oil only. 

Caregivers cannot:

  • possess any other form of cannabis in Georgia, including flower, edibles, or inhaled forms, 
  • cultivate or manufacture any cannabis products for their patient.

The caregiver application fee is $25.

  • No. Unfortunately, you must have a qualifying condition to get a medical marijuana card in Georgia.

  • For now, having a low-THC oil registry card is the only way for Georgia residents to possess low-THC cannabis oil in the state legally. Georgia will have medical marijuana dispensaries available soon, but your card will only allow you to possess low-THC oil.

  • It only costs $139 to get a NuggMD Georgia MMJ evaluation with NuggMD. There's no risk! Patients who don't qualify will get their recommendation for free! After the evaluation, medical cannabis patients are also responsible for Georgia’s $50 state registration fee.

  • Health insurance won’t cover the cost of your medical marijuana products because cannabis is still considered illegal under federal law. This may change in the future if the federal government legalizes cannabis.

  • While your evaluation through NuggMD is fast and easy, it takes the state approximately three weeks before your medical marijuana card will be ready for pickup at one of Georgia's health department locations. Be sure to send your waiver form in promptly after completing your evaluation to avoid delays.

  • With NuggMD, you are ONLY charged for your evaluation if you are approved. We believe everyone deserves access to a qualified medical cannabis doctor, and the cost of an evaluation shouldn’t be a barrier.

  • You’ll only be charged if you’re approved for your medical marijuana certification. If not, your evaluation is free! You can also change your mind after your evaluation if you wish and request a refund, but you must do so before your certification has been submitted to the state. Once you’ve been certified, a refund for services will no longer be available. Please send an email to support@nuggmd.com with the subject line “Refund Request” and a brief description of your issue. We want to make sure you’re 100% satisfied with your purchase being that you, the customer, are the most important thing to us! Once a refund has been initiated, please allow 3-5 business days for the funds to transfer back to the card you used for the transaction. A refund is no longer available more than 30 days after the date of your evaluation. If any issues arise, please feel free to reach back out for further assistance.

  • Absolutely. You have the right to see any Georgia MD or DO to get your medical marijuana renewal evaluation. All NuggMD practitioners are licensed in the state for which they provide evaluations and have acquired all state-required cannabis training and certifications.

  • This depends on the state to which you’re traveling. Each state has different rules regarding reciprocity, and some don’t allow it at all. Check with your destination state to learn more.

  • Yes, but you must have been a resident of Georgia for at least one year before you can sign up for the low-THC oil registry.
