The Augusta Chronicle reports on Georgia medical marijuana underground. In spite of laws prohibiting cannabis as medicine, patients are seeking out their own source for the medicine. Here’s the story……

Even without a law to cover them in Georgia, dozens and maybe hundreds of people in the Augusta area are using marijuana or a derivative to treat ailments, one activist said.

Medical marijuana activist Maison Harley said their shadowy use clamors for the state to extend legal protection amid an evolving understanding of the potential health benefits of cannabis.

“That’s the gray area that all of these families are having to go into,” he said. “Most of them have taken it upon themselves to find these products via any means necessary.”
