Cannabis in Georgia (country)

Common card · No. 435077

Cannabis in Georgia is legal in terms of its possession and consumption due to a ruling by the Constitutional Court of Georgia on 30 July 2018. This landmark decision made Georgia one of the first countries in the world to legalize cannabis for both recreational and medical use — it was, at the time, the only former communist state in the world to do so. Large scale cultivation and sale of cannabis remains illegal, although there have been active discussions in Georgia's political circles on commercializing marijuana. In the political arena, Girchi and its founder and former leader Zurab Japaridze emerged as one of the strongest supporters of more liberal cannabis policies, although this view has then been picked up by other political forces as well to some extent.
