While Georgia law classifies Delta-9 THC as a Schedule I controlled substance, there is an important caveat for hemp-derived products.
Specifically, if your product contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight and is derived from hemp—as outlined in federal law—it is legally permitted within the state of Georgia.
However, consumers should remain vigilant when purchasing these products to ensure they adhere to all necessary regulations.
In addition, the Georgia Department of Agriculture currently does not permit the addition of cannabinoids—including Delta-9 THC—to food items, drinks or dietary supplements. This means that while you can legally possess and use hemp-derived products with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC in Georgia, you may not legally find them as an ingredient in your grocery store's edibles or drinkables.
