Hemp laws in Georgia are confusing. Here's what you can buy right now.

Marijuana is not legal in Georgia. But, the 2018 Farm Bill opened the door for businesses in the state to start selling hemp-derived products like gummies and THC-infused beverages.

AJC’s Fraser Jones breaks down these recent regulations and speaks with local business owners about how they’ve been impacted.
