All content published on the GMCS website, social media channels, newsletters, educational materials, events, and any other communications is intended solely for general informational and educational purposes. Nothing on our platforms should be interpreted as medical advice, a medical opinion, or a recommendation to pursue or discontinue any particular course of treatment.

GMCS is a patient-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are not a medical practice, clinic, or healthcare provider. Our staff, volunteers, and board members — unless acting in a separate, explicitly identified professional capacity — do not provide individualized medical guidance of any kind.

Reliance on any information provided by GMCS is solely at your own risk. GMCS expressly disclaims all liability for any adverse outcomes that may result from using or misusing information obtained through our resources.

Your use of GMCS resources, attendance at GMCS events, participation in GMCS programs, or any communication with GMCS staff or volunteers does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or any other professional healthcare relationship.

Any information shared with GMCS — whether through our website contact forms, email, social media, or in person — is not protected by medical privilege and should not be treated as a confidential medical disclosure. If you need confidential medical support, please contact a licensed healthcare provider directly.

Before making any decisions about your health, including whether to pursue a low-THC oil registration card, change your current medications, or begin using medical cannabis, you should consult with a licensed physician or other qualified healthcare professional who is familiar with your complete medical history.

Medical cannabis may interact with prescription medications and may not be appropriate for all individuals. Only a licensed healthcare provider who has evaluated you in a clinical setting can determine whether medical cannabis is appropriate for your specific situation.

GMCS maintains a directory of providers who are knowledgeable about Georgia's medical cannabis program to help you find qualified professional guidance.

Georgia's medical cannabis program is governed by the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission (GCRD) and is subject to change through legislative action, regulatory rulemaking, and court decisions. The information GMCS provides about qualifying conditions, registration procedures, possession limits, and licensed dispensaries reflects our best understanding at the time of publication but may not reflect the most current legal requirements.

GMCS makes no warranty — express or implied — that any information about Georgia law or regulations is complete, accurate, or up to date. Laws and regulations can change rapidly, and individual circumstances vary. You should always verify current requirements directly with the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission at gcrd.georgia.gov or with a licensed Georgia attorney before taking any action based on legal information provided by GMCS.

Nothing in GMCS communications constitutes legal advice. If you have specific legal questions about your rights or obligations under Georgia's medical cannabis laws, please consult a licensed Georgia attorney.

Any reference to specific cannabis products, brands, dispensaries, cultivators, processors, or other licensed operators in Georgia does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee by GMCS. Inclusion in any GMCS directory, resource list, or educational material is for informational purposes only.

GMCS does not receive compensation from dispensaries or cannabis businesses in exchange for inclusion in our resources. As a patient-led nonprofit, our mission is to serve patients — not to promote commercial interests. Patients should conduct their own due diligence when selecting a dispensary or product, and should consult their healthcare provider about product selection.

GMCS is not responsible for the quality, safety, efficacy, or legality of any product purchased from a licensed dispensary or any other source.

GMCS strives to provide accurate, current, and reliable information. However, we cannot guarantee that all content is free from errors, omissions, or outdated information. The medical cannabis landscape — including research, clinical guidance, and state regulations — evolves rapidly, and our resources may not always reflect the latest developments.

GMCS makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any information on our platforms. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.

If you believe any information on our platforms is inaccurate or outdated, please contact us at [email protected] so we can review and correct it promptly.
