To register with the Georgia Low THC Oil Program, follow the steps below:

1. Schedule a meeting with a physician who will examine your medical condition and check if you are suitable for low THC use.
2. If approved, you (and your caregiver, if applicable) must complete and notarize the Low THC Oil Waiver. You’ll also need to provide a valid form of identification—such as a driver’s license, state-issued ID, passport, or military ID—for both yourself and your caregiver.
3. The physician will submit the waiver and complete the  necessary certification.
4. The data from the forms will be entered into the Low THC Oil Registry.
5. Pay a $30 registration fee for your Low THC Oil card.
6. Once processed, your low THC oil card will be mailed to you or made available for pickup at a designated public health office. Processing typically takes around 10 business days.

To apply for a Low THC Oil Registry Card in Georgia, you must work with a certified physician who will submit the required documents to the Georgia Department of Public Health on your behalf. You will need to provide the following:

1. Completed Waiver Form:
   This form must be filled out and signed by both the patient and the certifying physician. It must also be notarized before submission. If a caregiver is being registered, the caregiver must also sign the form.
2. Physician Certification Form:
   The certifying physician must complete this form, confirming that you have a qualifying medical condition or are receiving care through a hospice program. The physician must have an active doctor – patient relationship with you and must be treating you specifically for the condition for which low THC oil is recommended.
3. Valid Identification:
   You must provide a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a Georgia driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID. If you are appointing a caregiver, they must also provide valid identification.
4. Contact Information:
   A working phone number and email address (if available) are needed to facilitate communication and digital access to payment and pickup instructions.
5. Payment:
   A $30 registration fee is required. This can be paid online through the secure payment portal (an additional $3.75 service fee applies), or via mailed money order if you do not have online access.

Once the physician enters your details and uploads the documents into the state’s secure registry system, your application will be processed. If approved, your card will be sent to the public health office you selected for pickup, typically within 10 business days.

Purchases of low THC oil in Georgia are subject to the state’s standard 4% sales and use tax. As of 2025, Georgia does not impose any additional excise taxes specifically on low THC products. Therefore, patients and caregivers registered with the Low THC Oil Registry can expect to pay the standard state and local sales taxes when purchasing low THC oil from licensed dispensaries or pharmacies.

For the most accurate and current information on sales tax rates applicable to medical cannabis products in Georgia, it’s advisable to consult the Georgia Department of Revenue or speak directly with a licensed dispensary.
