ATLANTA -- The men and women who fight illegal drugs for a living say that if Georgia is going to allow the in-state growth of medical cannabis, the state needs to keep a lid on it.
"We do oppose all cultivation" of cannabis, Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson, president of the Georgia Sheriffs' Association, said at a state hearing in Atlanta on Wednesday.
Sheriffs had also opposed the new law this year that allows some Georgians to possess a kind of liquid medicine derived from cannabis.
But state Rep. Allen Peake, R-Macon, co-chair of the Georgia Commission on Medical Cannabis, is leading a push for in-state growth of specially bred cannabis in order to manufacture that liquid. He said seriously ill Georgians need easier access to the liquid, rather than risking arrest by bringing it in from marijuana-legal states.
