Is cannabis legal in Georgia?
Legal adult-use retail exists only in the states and territories that have actually launched a recreational market, not nationwide.

Cannabis remains federally controlled, so you may not transport product across state lines or international borders.
How to buy: Be 21+ and inside a state or territory with an operating licensed adult-use market, then buy at a dispensary with a valid government-issued ID or passport.
THC: No single federal cap; each state sets rules for flower, concentrates, vape and edibles.
Allowed with conditions: Recreational cannabis can be bought legally only from licensed adult-use dispensaries in the states and territories where a recreational retail market has actually launched.
