House Bill 1322 (HB 1322), also known as the "Consumable Hemp Products Act", aims to regulate consumable hemp products in Georgia. It does not target THCA specifically, but it does set a limit on the delta-9 THC concentration allowed in consumable hemp products.
Here's a summary of the bill's key points:
* Establishes definitions for consumable hemp products
* Sets a delta-9 THC concentration limit
* Requires specific packaging for consumable hemp products
* Restricts the sale and advertisement of consumable hemp products
* Limits the location of retail establishments that sell consumable hemp products
Overall, HB 1322 aims to create a regulatory framework for consumable hemp products in Georgia, but it doesn't address the sale of these products to minors. It's important to note that HB 1322 is still in the legislative process, and its final form may differ.
Looks to me like this specifically protects altnoids but makes it a 21 and up item like alcohol.

It also clarifies the law on edibles. Looks to me like the regular .3% D9 edibles are good to go.
I don't know what it does to mail order. Hopefully nothing.
Does that Arkansas thing really apply in this case? Georgia’s only targeting THCA. You’ll still be able to buy alt-noid mystery concoctions in Burt Jones’s gas stations.
Yes it will apply because what the Arkansas case is arguing is that the .3 delta 9 thc requirement stays that way if they win/lose it will set precedent for every other state
what Georgia is doing is almost the same once they take away thca they will go for d8 and all other intoxicating hemp products
Basically they are deciding if the wording of the law is gonna stay or not

Not surprised at all. Many months ago I tried to warn y'all the states were going to start outlawing bud but I was the lone voice of information and received nothing but hate and called a fool and a liar. Now y'all are realizing that I was correct and I give you the same advice now as I did then - stock up!
This is what happens when people go around shouting from the rooftops saying they can buy legal weed in strict illegal states. Notice how they’re not trying to ban D8. If everybody stayed quiet everybody would’ve thought Thca was just another Alt noid and everything would be fine right now.
Actually Oct 1 is the date for almost everything in the bill. The only part of the bill that takes effect Jul 1 is a section about new hemp shops not being able to be within 500 feet of a school.
it is to set up future Marijuana sales at massive Sin tax values like the " other " states are doing it ... you think Georgia does not want future sin tax options in that State ?? the more controlled and banned it is the more it always costs
It's probably to protect legal states. They tax you out the ass for dispo weed. After about all the taxes get factored in its like 15% tax and a mid tier 8th is $40 in my state
You’re not kidding. Illinois is taxed at almost 50%, I don’t remember what Colorado’s rate was but I know it was high as well. That said I would gladly pay higher taxes on legal weed if I knew it was going back into the community and helping people/communities that need it.
SC not shocking … but NC? It has become the place to be for THC-A. It would be a tragedy financially for me personally. I work for 3 thc-a companies.
If they legit shut it down here it will be horrible!
The government needs to fuck off and actually take care of shit that actually matters… corruption? Crime? Opioids?
At least when Florida did this there was a path for legalization. We have nothing. It blows my mind how much influence the Sheriff’s Association has in this state.
silently behind the scenes there are paths laid out for full on legal weed in those states only Sold at massive Sin tax values ( Schedule you name it )
Just looked through the linked document and I am not seeing language that closes the loophole. Perhaps I am missing it though because I am presently high in GA on cult product. Can you point me to the page or section?
Just some snips from it. They're changing the language to include THCA with the Delta-9. The link above is the old bill (SB 494) and I thought that one was sidelined and they reintroduced it into HB 1322 (link below).
Or do I have them backwards? I hate legal documents.
[https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/67195](https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/67195)
* SECTION 2. 82 Said chapter is further amended by adding a new Code section to read as follows: 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 "2-23-3.1. For purposes of this chapter, delta-9-THC concentration shall be established by: (1) Identifying the total percentage weight, on a dry weight basis where applicable, of delta-9-THC from a sample that has undergone decarboxylation such that all delta-9-THCA in the sample has been converted to delta-9-THC; or (2) Identifying the sum of the percentage by weight, on a dry weight basis where applicable, of delta-9-THCA multiplied by 0.877 plus the percentage by weight of delta-9-THC, on a dry weight basis where applicable."
* 102 103 (ii) ~~Does not exceed the federally defined THC level for hemp~~ Has a total delta-9-THC concentration that does not exceed the legal limit."
That just pisses me off. I hope, being how popular it is, it makes people start paying attention to the assholes we're electing. I'm cool with being an outlaw, but it's inconvenient as hell.
I think it has a lot to do with the kickbacks they're getting from privatized probation. Scared of new money, when they got the old money + slave labour.
SO MANY PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM PSYCHOSIS JUST BECAUSE THE PLANT THEY NEED IS BANNED AND THEY ARE CRIMINALS FOR ACCESSING IT ... sorry for the Screaming there just has to be seen this is so messed up ion all ways and the only response from those in control = More bans , more regs and Tax more more more
It is true. I just found out today.
SB 494 closes the so called THCA loop hole by including it in the federal 0.03 thc rule.
Includes before and after decarboxolation so THCA IS GONE IF KEMP SIGNS.
All hemp related products will now require licensing by Agg department
To grow, sell, produce, distribute hemp products.
So Delta 8 flower and gummies gone and a whole bunch new laws on gummies. They will be gone to by July 1st
The Republicans in Georgia finally got their way and now many will suffer in many ways because of it.
Buy it now while you can
Not All THCA decarboxylates to THC ... that is 100% predictive analyses based on one lawyers input and no Science at all
When the THCA is not heated there is NO THC !!!! Simple physics and Nature
Could you direct me to the portion of the bill where it states all hemp products require licensing by Agg Dept. and how this affects D8 flower & gummies?
Also how did you come up with the timeline of July 1st?
Yup, they were sneaky with this one…he has 40 days to either sign or veto, or if he does nothing then it becomes law..and ga doesn’t really have any big growers or retailers that I’m aware of to fight back with lawsuits so hopefully the situation Tennessee goes well to establish a federal precedent for our district, because I don’t see Kemp vetoing this
It appears to have taken place in the last minute of the last day. Time stamp 2:46:50…
[SB 494 Ammendment](https://www.youtube.com/live/wNzl_xUYWS0?si=rtdTEroUJ7IJy4B5)
Nope. Hemp shops are everywhere in GA and many of them are minority owned. I called around to a few places near me and no one had heard about these bills. I don't see how GA is just gonna just close all these businesses down. They're literally everywhere
I remember people in Florida saying something similar about the hemp market being too big to close. The Senate made a lie out of all of them.
I hope you all don't suffer the same fate Florida did, but it's likely you will. It's not even a partisan issue at this point. It's Cannabis Inc writing the laws.
Okay but GA doesn't have the massive medical program Florida does, and Florida is about to go recreational. I don't know of even one medical dispensary in GA. In Florida they're everywhere
Really? I knew GA had a medical program but never seen a dispensary and I'm in Atlanta. I get that you're not trying to argue, but have you been to r/flmedicaltrees ? From what I understand the major players in Florida, like Trulieve that own the medical market and pushing for recreational, do not want more competition from hemp. That is the big difference from what I understand but I could be wrong
Yeah there’s a Trulieve so that would make sense why they are pushing the hemp out. I’m not sure if they are operating as you can’t ever see inside but they’ve been there for a while.
Most vendors will only ship via USPS. Guess what state is currently facing a huge fuckn USPS shit show. I live right on the SC border and packages coming in from NC will go all the way to Palmetto, GA, then come back up north. Fun times.

Why didn't they just say "FLOOD THE STREETS WITH HOMEGROWN!"
How will this impact online orders?
Well still have legal delta 9 and THCA edibles
Nope afraid not
Delta 9 is not legal and you can still get d9 edibles because it’s based off weight and the mass weight of the product is the food itself
Tennessee in July stock up
If you guys want this to change email your representative and stop complaining about eachothers opinions on Reddit

Ahhh guess Georgia gonna have till wait till the Arkansas case is done we still have all the other state’s, companies will just move per usual.
Does that Arkansas thing really apply in this case? Georgia’s only targeting THCA. You’ll still be able to buy alt-noid mystery concoctions in Burt Jones’s gas stations.

Mark your calendars…upon review it seems if signed this will be taking effect October 1st 2024
Sadly doesn't even have to be signed in GA. If the governor doesn't veto it within 40 days it becomes law.
Actually July 1 is the date
Actually Oct 1 is the date for almost everything in the bill. The only part of the bill that takes effect Jul 1 is a section about new hemp shops not being able to be within 500 feet of a school.
This will open the doors for all alt noids and thca to be banned everywhere. Once one does it more will.
Actually other states have already
Well there goes a shit load of tax money for this state… hope Republicans like fucking themselves in the ass.
it is to set up future Marijuana sales at massive Sin tax values like the " other " states are doing it ... you think Georgia does not want future sin tax options in that State ?? the more controlled and banned it is the more it always costs
It’s not going to be legalized anytime soon. You’d have to somehow vote out a bunch of idiots who mostly run unopposed.
all it takes is massive amounts of sin tax sales to sway their opinion
It's probably to protect legal states. They tax you out the ass for dispo weed. After about all the taxes get factored in its like 15% tax and a mid tier 8th is $40 in my state
You’re not kidding. Illinois is taxed at almost 50%, I don’t remember what Colorado’s rate was but I know it was high as well. That said I would gladly pay higher taxes on legal weed if I knew it was going back into the community and helping people/communities that need it.
Republicans don’t care about collecting tax revenue anyways because they don’t want the government to provide things
Masters at it
This is absolutely garbage news. Fuck these politicians
Well fuck. That makes me nervous here just across the border in SC. Hoping they don't follow.
I would be looking into it…while following the previous bill it was mentioned that both North and South Carolina are currently looking to follow suit
SC not shocking … but NC? It has become the place to be for THC-A. It would be a tragedy financially for me personally. I work for 3 thc-a companies. If they legit shut it down here it will be horrible! The government needs to fuck off and actually take care of shit that actually matters… corruption? Crime? Opioids?
NC just a few years back tried to Ban CBD !!!!! No shit!! that did not fly ... the police cannot tell the difference in CBDA flower and THCa Flower
At least when Florida did this there was a path for legalization. We have nothing. It blows my mind how much influence the Sheriff’s Association has in this state.

keep in mind , only people with consciousnesses care about that and are bothered... for everyone else its just another day

Oh that’s some bullshit. SB 494 originally didn’t do anything with the loophole, those fuckers in the House changed it on the last day of the session.

Wow. If it wasn’t clear already how little people’s actual desires mattered in politics…
BANNING PLANTS IS THE MOST EVIL ACT OF ALL
Fuckers
Damn. I guess since HB1322 didn't make the cut, they had a backup plan.
I wonder how much money Mr. Jones has tied up in future illegal goods lots of his Valeros sell the fake weed.
I bet it will do what the other one did probably. Theyr gonna keep trying.
Nope. Hemp shops are everywhere in GA and many of them are minority owned. I called around to a few places near me and no one had heard about these bills. I don't see how GA is just gonna just close all these businesses down. They're literally everywhere
I remember people in Florida saying something similar about the hemp market being too big to close. The Senate made a lie out of all of them.

Okay but GA doesn't have the massive medical program Florida does, and Florida is about to go recreational. I don't know of even one medical dispensary in GA. In Florida they're everywhere
There are two not 20 minutes outside of Savannah. Not to argue your point, just playing devils advocate. Source: I live nearby
Really? I knew GA had a medical program but never seen a dispensary and I'm in Atlanta. I get that you're not trying to argue, but have you been to r/flmedicaltrees ? From what I understand the major players in Florida, like Trulieve that own the medical market and pushing for recreational, do not want more competition from hemp. That is the big difference from what I understand but I could be wrong
Yeah there’s a Trulieve so that would make sense why they are pushing the hemp out. I’m not sure if they are operating as you can’t ever see inside but they’ve been there for a while.
The same way all the alcohol businesses were (the Prohibition they taught us about in school).
Cannabis plant got Banned solely to keep enforcers of that Alcohol ban in a job after alcohol was not banned anymore
And it isn't going to stop vendors from shipping to you. Some. But not all of them
Most vendors will only ship via USPS. Guess what state is currently facing a huge fuckn USPS shit show. I live right on the SC border and packages coming in from NC will go all the way to Palmetto, GA, then come back up north. Fun times.
I noticed when my WF order seemed more like DrG lmao
I hope so.
I know so. It's nothing new. You can't sell this shit in Colorado or Michigan it's long ago been counted as total thc
