Legislation that would increase the number of medical cannabis production licenses in Georgia cleared a Georgia Senate committee this week, but with changes from what the Georgia House offered.  The senate legislation would increase the number of licenses from six to fifteen.  The legislation that the House proposed would have allowed the nine companies that lost out on licenses before, to compete once again.  One of those was Remedium Life Sciences that planned to produce THC Oil at a location at the Town of Trion’s Industrial Park.  But the Senate scrapped that provision in the bill.  The senate bill will allow the Georgia Department of Agriculture to oversee the state’s cannabis commission and how it awards licenses.  The bill is now headed to the full senate for a vote.
