Qualifying condition
Does Crohn's Disease qualify for a Georgia medical cannabis card?
Qualifies · any stage
Crohn's disease is a qualifying condition under Georgia SB 220.
Overview
Crohn's is listed on the Georgia Low THC Registry. A GI specialist's diagnosis via endoscopy, imaging, or pathology is generally sufficient.
What the evidence says
Small randomized trials have shown symptomatic improvement (pain, appetite, sleep) in Crohn's patients using cannabis alongside standard therapy. Effects on inflammation and mucosal healing are less clear.
What to bring to your consultation
- GI diagnosis (colonoscopy, imaging, or pathology)
- Current biologic/immunomodulator regimen
- Front & back of your Georgia driver's license or state ID
FAQ
Does ulcerative colitis qualify?
The statute names Crohn's specifically, not UC. UC patients may qualify under 'intractable pain' if pain is severe and refractory — bring your GI records for review.
