🚨 Important Update for Georgia Medical Cannabis Stakeholders

The Georgia Medical Cannabis Society is sharing urgent guidance from our national affiliate, Americans for Safe Access, regarding the newly released memorandum:

State Preparedness for Federal Cannabis Regulation & Enforcement: Part 1
State Actions Needed to Preserve & Protect Patient Access Before the June 26, 2026 DEA Registration Deadline

This guidance is especially important for medical cannabis operators, dispensary directors, license holders, compliance teams, regulators, healthcare stakeholders, patient advocates, and state decision-makers.

ASA’s memorandum outlines immediate steps states should consider to help protect patient access and prepare medical cannabis businesses for the federal transition created under AG Order No. 6754-2026. This includes DEA registration readiness, medical-only supply chain protections, patient enrollment and education, licensee guidance, and addressing record barriers that may impact patients, workers, caregivers, owners, and legacy operators.

For Georgia, this is not just a policy conversation. This is about making sure patients are not left behind while businesses, regulators, and state leaders navigate a rapidly changing federal landscape.

As a Georgia-based medical cannabis patient advocacy organization and national affiliate of Americans for Safe Access , GMCS is committed to helping spread accurate, timely, patient-centered information so Georgia stakeholders can stay informed and prepared.

📌 Key date to pay attention to: June 26, 2026
📌 Who should review this: Dispensary directors, operators, compliance teams, policymakers, patient advocates, healthcare professionals, and anyone connected to Georgia’s medical cannabis access system.

Thank you to Americans for Safe Access for continuing to lead with urgency, clarity, and a patient-first framework.

A year seizure-free and off all prescriptions. This little boy's story is one of many. Medical cannabis can transform complex chronic childhood conditions. What possibilities will you explore?

"You're a new person. It's up to that caregiver to get to know the new person."

That statement hit me.

One of the hardest parts of chronic illness, chronic pain, and disability isn't always the physical symptoms... it's the loss of identity that comes with it.

Patients are trying to figure out who they are now.

Caregivers are grieving the person they remember.

And somewhere in the middle, both are trying to learn how to move forward together.

This clip from our **2 H's of Healing** conversation with Dr. Rasean Hodge is a powerful reminder that healing isn't just physical... it's emotional, mental, and relational too.

If you're a patient, caregiver, family member, healthcare provider, or advocate, this conversation is for you.

Join us on **Saturday, June 13** for our **Compassion in Action Lunch & Learn** featuring **Dr. Rasean Hodge, Dr. Harold Han, and Senator Kenya Wicks** as we continue important conversations around patient-centered care, chronic illness, healing, and access.
