In a groundbreaking development, pharmacies in Georgia have begun selling medical cannabis oil, marking the state as the first in the U.S. to allow such sales. Dr. Ankit Patel of Robins Pharmacy was among the first to offer this product and described the occasion as “historic.”

The state has granted licenses to Robins Pharmacy, Omega Pharmacy, and Allen Pharmacy Group to sell low-THC medical cannabis products, which are defined as containing less than 5% THC. According to available data, there are over 400 independent pharmacies in Georgia that could potentially join this program.

Before receiving approval, these pharmacies had to undergo rigorous inspections by the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency. These inspections ensured proper security measures and staff training on product knowledge and handling.

This initiative is seen as a monumental step in increasing accessibility to medical cannabis for a wide range of conditions, including cancer, PTSD, and more. For further details, you can read the full article on High Times.
