Qualifying condition
Does Hepatitis C qualify for a Georgia medical cannabis card?
Chronic or severe hepatitis C is a qualifying condition under Georgia SB 220.
Overview
Chronic or severe Hep C qualifies — typically documented by PCR-confirmed infection, liver function tests, and (where applicable) fibrosis staging.
What the evidence says
Cannabinoids are used symptomatically for treatment-related nausea, fatigue, and appetite loss. Modern direct-acting antivirals have changed the treatment landscape, but symptomatic patients still qualify.
What to bring to your consultation
- HCV PCR confirmation
- LFTs and, if available, fibrosis staging
- Treatment history
- Front & back of your Georgia driver's license or state ID
FAQ
I was cured with DAAs — do I still qualify?
Generally no, unless residual liver disease or symptoms persist. Bring records for review.
