Marijuana Legislation Update

Visit our newly designed website for the latest news.

This week we look at the status of the marijuana related bills pending before the Georgia General Assembly. We are tracking five bills. Take a look. March 13th is Crossover Day - the last day for a bill to pass from one house to be considered in the other (House/Senate). Bills that do not crossover will be active for the 2016 legislative session.

Senate Bill 185 – Passed out of the Senate HHS Committee. This bill was offered as an alternative to HB-1. It limits cannabis medicine to under 18 patients with a state commission / clinical trials. Georgia C.A.R.E. does not support this bill.

House Bill 1 – Has not been heard in the Senate HHS Committee. It offers immunity from prosecution for possession of CBD/THC oil and a state commission. Georgia C.A.R.E. does not support this bill but it may represent the best opportunity for passage of some form of medical legislation this year..

Senate Bill 7 – Sits in the Senate Judiciary Non-Civil Committee – no hearing to date. This is a full medical bill. Georgia C.A.R.E. supports legislation but the bill may not be heard until in 2016.

Senate Resolution 6 – Offers a vote by the public for legalization of marijuana. The future of this bill is uncertain. Georgia C.A.R.E. supports this bill and support the right of the public to vote on legalization.

House Bill 283 - to provide that a person's conviction of the offense of simple possession of marijuana shall not result in the suspension of such person's driver's license. Georgia C.A.R.E. supports this bill. The outcome is undermined.

We encourage you to contact your lawmakers and committee members and express your desire to see real reform in Georgia.

Please continue to support Georgia C.A.R.E. and our efforts to reform marijuana laws in Georgia.

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
