An Internist Practicing in Georgia, as SB 220 Requires
Since July 1, 2026, Georgia's medical cannabis program only accepts certifications from physicians whose principal place of practice is inside the state. That rule comes from SB 220, the Putting Georgia's Patients First Act, and it means an out-of-state telehealth doctor holding a Georgia license is no longer enough. Dr. Stinson practices Internal Medicine in the Atlanta metro area, so her certifications satisfy the in-state requirement.
Internal Medicine is the specialty built around long-term management of chronic adult illness, the same clinical territory most Georgia qualifying conditions occupy. During the audio-visual telehealth visit she reviews your records and history, confirms whether a qualifying condition applies, and when certification is appropriate it is submitted to the Georgia Department of Public Health registry together with the notarized patient waiver Georgia requires.
Dr. Stinson joins Dr. Sean Lowe on the Georgia roster, giving MMJ.com two certifying physicians who live and practice in the state. Patients outside Georgia are routed to a different roster physician licensed in their own state of residence.
