Crossover Day – the day when bills in the General Assembly must be approved to go to either the House or Senate – was last week.  Two bills regarding the issuing of licenses to medical marijuana companies made it out of the Georgia House and Georgia Senate.
The bills are supported by both lawmakers who represent Chattooga County, Rep. Eddie Lumsden and Senator Jeff Mullis and the bill could benefit Remedium Life Sciences.  They are the company wanting to get a license to produce medical marijuana in Trion.

Last year, Remedium joined 15 other companies denied licenses in filing a legal protest claiming the selection process was unfair and arbitrary. Each of the bills currently under consideration seeks to belay potentially lengthy litigation involved in the process and provide a redo concerning the issuance of licenses.

Remedium wants to produce medical marijuana in a 100,000 square foot facility at the Trion Industrial Park.

If the General Assembly approves a new bill that would allow for a new selection process for medical marijuana licensing, it could mean Remedium will have another shot at gaining a license.
