If someone in Georgia has a medical marijuana card but loses it and is caught with legal medical marijuana products, they could still face complications. While they might have legal authorization to possess the product, not having the physical card on hand could lead to legal issues. Here’s what might happen:
- Proof of Medical Card Status:
- The individual would need to prove they were a registered medical marijuana patient at the time of possession. This could involve showing records from the Georgia Medical Cannabis Commission or providing a digital copy of their registration.
- It’s advisable to keep a digital or photocopy of the card as a backup in case the original is lost.
- Potential for Charges:
- If they cannot prove their registered status promptly, law enforcement may cite them for possession. However, if they later provide proof of being a registered medical marijuana patient, the charges may be dropped or reduced.
- Seeking legal counsel can help navigate the process and work toward dismissing any charges if lawful possession rights exist.
- Administrative Steps:
- If a card is lost, contacting the Georgia Medical Cannabis Commission or the issuing entity for a replacement is crucial to avoid future complications.
- Legal Restrictions:
- Georgia law only permits the use of Low THC Oil, which is defined as cannabis oil containing no more than 5% THC. Smoking cannabis or using forms of cannabis that exceed this THC limit is not legal in Georgia.
