During the 2024 session of the General Assembly lawmakers passed the Georgia Hemp Farming Act – and many portions of the bill went into effect on Tuesday (October 1). The law imposes age restrictions on the possession of consumable hemp products and requires consumable hemp retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers to obtain a license to operate in Georgia, among other testing and regulatory requirements.
According to information from Gov. Brian Kemp, all residents and visitors of Georgia, along with all Georgia law enforcement officials, of October 1, it is now a crime to sell consumable hemp products to persons under the age of 21. It is also illegal to purchase or possess consumable hemp products if you are under the age of 21. Kemp emphasized that these new restrictions will be strongly enforced throughout the state to protect the health and safety of young Georgians.
