Georgia Becomes 1st State to Sell Medicinal Marijuana in Pharmacies
According to a report by HealthDay News on October 24th, after four years of distributing low-dose THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the state of Georgia has made the decision to allow local pharmacies to sell medical marijuana. This move has made Georgia the first state in the United States where pharmacies will be selling medical marijuana.
Patients who adhere to the specific guidelines for using medical marijuana, as prescribed by Georgia state law, will soon have the option to purchase low-dose THC products at local pharmacies. THC, the compound found in marijuana, has psychoactive effects and is commonly used to alleviate pain, nausea, and insomnia.
Gary Long, CEO of Botanical Sciences, a medical marijuana production company, has stated that although this does not mean that pharmacies will be selling marijuana cigarettes or pipes, they hope that pharmacies wishing to sell products with a THC content of 5% or less can apply to the Georgia Board of Pharmacy. These products include oils, tinctures, topicals, capsules, and tablets. 130 local pharmacies have already agreed to sell these products, and many independent pharmacies are also actively seeking sales permits.
The recent passing of legislation in the state of Georgia allowing for the sale of medicinal marijuana in pharmacies has garnered significant attention. It is worth noting that many patients have obtained doctor's permission to register and obtain a license card for purchasing THC oil products. Jonathan Marquess, Vice President of the Independent Pharmacy Association, has voiced concerns that patients are being forced to buy low-dose THC products in other states or potentially risky locations, which poses a great danger to their well-being.
