May 14, 2026

ATLANTA, Ga. — Gov. Brian Kemp has signed a bill that significantly expands access to medical cannabis and the types of products dispensaries can offer.

Currently, dispensaries can offer cannabis products in pill, tincture and some edible forms. The new law allows the sale of vape products to patients.

According to cannabis advocacy organization NORML, Senate Bill 220 does the following:

— Replaces all statutory references to “low THC oil” with “medical cannabis.”

— Expands the list of qualifying medical conditions to include people diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease and lupus. It also eases requirements for patients with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and other conditions.
