Enrollment In Georgia’s Medical Cannabis Program Jumps After Lawmakers Ease Access

Aug 6, 2026 | Feature, National

Georgia’s medical cannabis program experienced an unprecedented surge of new registered patients over the past month after the law changed significantly to ease access.

The patient registry grew from 36,595 patients in late June to 44,854 on Monday, an increase of more than 22% in just over a month. The increase of over 8,200 active patients marks a significant change of pace for a decade-old program that grew sluggishly under the previous law.
