Does Multiple Sclerosis qualify for a Georgia medical cannabis card?
Severe or end-stage multiple sclerosis is a qualifying condition under Georgia SB 220.
Overview
MS qualifies when the disease is severe or end stage — typically documented by progressive disability, refractory spasticity, or an EDSS score consistent with significant impairment. Dr. Hodge reviews your neurology records to confirm.
What the evidence says
Nabiximols (Sativex) is licensed outside the US for MS-related spasticity. THC/CBD is used off-label in the US for spasticity, neuropathic pain, bladder symptoms, and sleep.
What to bring to your consultation
- Neurologist notes including EDSS or functional status
- MRI reports if available
- List of DMTs and symptom-management medications tried
- Front & back of your Georgia driver's license or state ID
FAQ
The statute language is 'severe.' Some working RRMS patients qualify based on symptom burden; others do not. Bring records and we'll review honestly during the consult.
