Medical marijuana legislation fails on final day
Placeholder Image
ATLANTA — A bill allowing sick patients to legally take a marijuana derivative to ease their symptoms failed Thursday in the final hours of Georgia's legislative session, stalling amid a dispute between House and Senate lawmakers. By law, the General Assembly meets just 40 working days annually. Any bills not approved by midnight Thursday do not become law.
