Georgia Law on Marijuana Vape Cartridges

Weed vape cartridges have exploded in popularity over the last ten years. There are many different types of cartridges. Most of them look like cartridges that could also hold nicotine. Possessing a THC vape cartridge in Georgia that has over 5% concentration of THC is a felony under Georgia law. Georgia law states that any marijuana that has been altered from its state in plant form is a felony offense no matter the weight. So one half gram THC cartridge would be a felony even though the weight of the actual marijuana in the cartridge is much less than one ounce.

In order for you to be found guilty of possessing a weed vape cartridge, the substance inside the cartridge must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be marijuana. Sometimes police will ask you what is inside the cartridge. If you admit it is marijuana, that can be used against you. If there is no admission, the substance inside the cartridge must be tested. There are only a few labs throughout the state of Georgia that can test for THC concentrates.

If this is your first drug offense there will likely be a few options for you to resolve your case without a felony being on your record.
