What psychedelic access is allowed in Georgia?

Clinic licensing framework enacted for FDA-approved drugs. Access depends on the substance and setting; this is not blanket permission to possess, buy or sell psychedelics.

Official source: Georgia, official statutes and legislature →

Georgia HB 717 (signed 2026, effective July 1, 2026) amends the Medical Practice Act to create a licensing framework for clinics that administer psychedelic-assisted treatment, expressly including intravenous ketamine infusion. The Composite Medical Board must adopt rules by December 31, 2026, and clinics must be licensed from July 1, 2027. The law does not permit any substance that lacks FDA approval, so it does not authorize psilocybin services; possessing psilocybin remains a crime in Georgia. Administering FDA-approved drugs for their approved on-label indication is exempt from these new requirements, so existing prescribed ketamine treatment is not interrupted by the later clinic-licensing start date.
