Georgia Anti-Drugs Agency Wants To Legalize Marijuana

The Georgian state anti-drugs agency wants to legalize marihuana in order to reduce drug-related crime and cut down consumption of hard drugs.


I welcome this idea. I really hope they will legalize marijuana/cannabis as it´s the only right thing to do. It should be done in not just Georgia but in other countries as well. I believe this will be a step in the right direction to reduce crime and prevent use of hard drugs. The "drug-mafia" will not make money of it and buyers don´t have to contact "mafia-people" in order to buy it. Resources would be released to battle "real crime" instead. Maybe the state would even start making some money from it instead of spending so much fighting it. I expect the medical industry will oppose legalization as they then won´t sell so many pills and stuff. Way to go Georgia I hope you manage to put this into effect asap.

Note: Marijuana and Cannabis is still illegal in most countries, so do not go and do anything illegal now... - Say No To Hard Drugs!

Ha! At first I thought you meant the U.S. State of Georgia...anyway, good on Georgia (the country).

Wise decision.

All I can say is WOOHOO and "Good for them!"

When I first seen the title I thought it was Georgia, United States, and thought of moving a little bit futher south.

One little country doing it is just cute. I'm a pot smoker and I hope it never ever is completely legal in North America. Looser laws, sure. Slightly more legalized, okay. My paranoid (completely innocent besides pot) ass wouldn't be as antsy all the time. lol I am just super frightened of the government taking control of it. I can't even talk about it. I'll have nightmares.

its funny that other...less free nations than ours are moving towards legalization..but here in the "land of the free" it is still a criminal offense...the mentality of this nations is so hypocritical it kills me.... its a plant that their god made but i guess god screwed up on pot...and the platypus. time for the hypocritical states of america to let it go already

Good for Georgia

At least the Georgian gov't got something right in the past couple years...or at least considering it.

If Georgia plays this right they could make some much needed money off of pot. I wonder how much it'll cost??? Probably cheaper than in the states.

Gaumardschoss!!!

Are there any ATS members from Georgia (the country) here? Can anyone tell me what happened to this story, please? What is Georgia´s current law on marijuana?


Btw, this thread was started in beginning of November last year.

Marijuana is still illegal in Georgia, it's not really enforced though. Someone could smoke across the steet from police HQ and noone would even notice or do anything about it.

Did they ever change the laws?
Or is this WWWhy they are at war?
