Medical marijuana bill clears Georgia Senate
Politics 11 hours ago
By David Wickert, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A bill that would allow the distribution and sale of medical marijuana in Georgia passed the state Senate Friday, a key hurdle in the closing days of the legislative session.
House Bill 324 would allow distribution of the drug through up to 28 dispensaries statewide. And it would allow four growing licenses for the state. The bill passed by a margin of 44 to 8.
The bill now returns to the House of Representatives, which passed a more expansive version that would have allowed up to 60 dispensaries and 10 growing licenses.
Sen. Matt Brass, R-Newnan, said the bill will help thousands of families who need marijuana oil to help ill children.
