Georgia’s medical cannabis landscape has shifted with the signing of SB 220. For employers, understanding these changes is essential for maintaining workplace safety.
The new law removes the 5% THC potency cap, allowing registered patients to possess up to 12,000mg of medical cannabis. Additionally, vaporization is now permitted for patients over 21. While these changes increase patient access, they also elevate the risk of workplace impairment.
It is important for Georgia business owners to know that SB 220 does not provide employment protections for users. Employers still have the right to enforce drug-free workplace policies, conduct testing, and address positive results. This is especially critical for safety-sensitive industries like construction and logistics.
