The DEA has issued warnings to pharmacies in Georgia that dispensing medical marijuana, specifically THC oil, violates federal law. Despite the Georgia Board of Pharmacy's recent allowance for independent pharmacies to dispense THC oils, the DEA's memo clarifies that marijuana and THC are Schedule 1 controlled substances and cannot be lawfully handled by DEA-registered pharmacies. SAM, an organization opposing marijuana legalization, praised the DEA's stance. Meanwhile, the federal government's position on marijuana may be shifting, as Health and Human Services recommended reclassifying marijuana to a Schedule III Substance. Four companies recently received provisional licenses to produce low-THC oil in Georgia, joining the two existing licensed producers, including Trulieve Cannabis Corp (OTCQX:TCNNF).
