Georgia Medical Marijuana Qualifying Conditions

Who Determines Eligibility in Georgia?

Georgia's Low THC Oil Registry is for eligible patients with conditions specified by Georgia law. A physician fully licensed in Georgia must certify eligibility and enter the required information into the registry. A general diagnosis alone does not guarantee eligibility: some statutory categories require particular severity, age or treatment history.

Conditions and Statutory Limits

Use the state program's current criteria rather than a generic national checklist.

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
• Alzheimer's disease
• Autism spectrum disorder in patients at least 18, or severe autism in patients under 18
• Any cancer except skin cancer, unless it is metastatic skin cancer
• Epidermolysis bullosa
• Participation in an inpatient or outpatient hospice program
• HIV diagnosed as stage III
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Intractable pain
• Lupus
• Mitochondrial disease
• Multiple sclerosis
• Parkinson's disease
• Severe peripheral neuropathy
• PTSD resulting from direct exposure to or witnessing trauma, for patients at least 18
• Seizure disorders related to epilepsy or trauma-related head injuries

Verify the Current Criteria

Review Georgia's official eligibility guidance for the full requirements. Having a diagnosis mentioned here is not an assurance that the physician will recommend or certify you.

Records That Can Help

Bring diagnosis notes, specialist summaries and information about treatments tried. The physician assesses whether the legal criteria and clinical considerations apply to your individual circumstances.

If You Receive a Recommendation

DPH verifies the submission and provides payment and card instructions. Follow those instructions rather than assuming that submitting an intake form enrolls you in the state program. Use the issued Low THC Oil card only within Georgia program rules. It is not a general authorization for all cannabis products.
