Is Delta-8 Legal in Georgia?
As of 2025, Delta-8 THC is legal in Georgia as long as it's hemp-derived and contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. This legality comes from the federal 2018 Farm Bill, Georgia’s Hemp Farming Act (HB 213) passed in 2019, and most recently, Senate Bill 494 (SB 494).
And yes—that’s a lot of laws to keep track of!
The most important one for Georgians is SB 494, which created new rules about what kinds of Delta-8 products can be sold and where. So, let’s take a closer look at what Delta-8 is and what you can legally buy in Georgia.

What Is Delta-8 THC?
Delta-8 THC is a natural compound found in small amounts in hemp and cannabis plants. It’s similar to Delta-9 THC—the main chemical in marijuana that makes people feel high—but Delta-8 is usually described as milder and more relaxing.
Most Delta-8 sold today is made from hemp-derived CBD, which makes it legal under federal law and Georgia’s hemp laws - but the products have to comply with both sets of laws.
