Co-committee chairmen of the Joint Study Commission on Low THC Medical Oil Access, Senator Matt Brass (R – Newnan) and Representative Micah Gravley (R – Douglasville), recently announced details of the commission’s first meeting. The meeting will take place Wednesday, August 29, in Atlanta at the state Capitol and will focus on testimony from patients, parents and organizations on the possibility of expanding patient access to medical cannabis oil and will not include the use of recreational cannabis.
“We look forward to hearing updates from Georgia patients regarding the effectiveness of treatments, as well as any difficulties or roadblocks individuals have experienced while trying to obtain this medicine now available to Georgia patients through their state issued I.D.,” said Sen. Brass.
Commission meetings are open to the public and available to livestream through the Georgia General Assembly website. All those interested in testifying before the commission should contact Denese Sampson at denese.sampson@senate.ga.gov.
Established by House Bill 65, the Joint Study Commission on Low THC Medical Oil Access will examine in-state access to medical cannabis and low THC oil, including the security and control of the process from acquisition and planting of seeds to final destruction of unused portions of the plant, quality control of the manufacturing process and dispensing the final product. The commission will also explore and identify ways to ensure proper security safeguards and systems for evaluating the qualifications of potential licensees, as well as implement a plan to ensure that low THC oil is affordable and readily available statewide to properly registered patients and caregivers. Upcoming meeting details will be announced as available. Livestream and video archives will also be available on the Georgia General Assembly website.
