Courtney R. Lerch

Courtney R. Lerch is a Georgia attorney whose practice includes cannabis and marijuana law, based in Savannah. Lerch has been licensed for 16 years and holds a law degree from Mississippi College School of Law. Related work listed for Lerch covers vehicle and traffic offenses arising from the same stop as a drug charge, possession, cultivation and distribution charges and driving-under-the-influence charges involving cannabis.

Because Georgia has no comprehensive medical or adult-use program, cannabis work there is largely criminal defense, alongside the regulatory uncertainty surrounding hemp-derived products sold outside any cannabis licensing system. Regulation runs through the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission. Georgia is a state that lets registered patients hold low-THC oil while providing only a narrow in-state route to obtain it lawfully.
