Since August 2022, Stonecrest has set a $100 penalty for an ounce or less inside city limits. That lowers the ticket but does not make possession legal. A Georgia Medical Cannabis card does. Book your evaluation

Medical Marijuana Card Stonecrest, GA: Online Evaluation With a Georgia-Licensed Doctor
For Stonecrest residents, the 2026 route to a medical marijuana card is certification by a Georgia-licensed physician in the Georgia DPH Medical Cannabis Patient Registry, followed by DPH's $30 card fee and $3.75 portal fee, after which the card ships by UPS.
From the Mall at Stonecrest to Arabia Mountain, the physician visit takes place on video, so there is no trip into Decatur or Atlanta. The fee is $179, and it is returned in full if you are not certified.
🔒 Not certified? Full $179 refund.

Which Stonecrest Residents Apply for a Medical Marijuana Card?
Stonecrest patients qualify under the same statewide list. This page speaks to three groups in east DeKalb.
What to Bring and How Long It Takes in Stonecrest
The card usually arrives a few weeks after your video visit. Stonecrest's addresses are the one detail worth double-checking first.
ID That Matches, Lithonia or Stonecrest
Many Stonecrest homes still carry a Lithonia mailing address, and that is fine. DPH only needs your Georgia license or state ID to match your street address, or a utility bill, phone bill, medical bill, or pay stub that does.
Emory or VA Records
Emory Hillandale visit notes, specialist letters, or Atlanta VA records help Dr. Miller confirm your condition. Include your medication list, since cannabis can change how some prescriptions are processed.

| Stage | Who Handles It | Expect |
|---|---|---|
| Telehealth evaluation | You and Dr. Miller | Frequently the same day |
| Registry certification | Dr. Miller | Entered the day you qualify |
| Address check, Lithonia or Stonecrest | Georgia DPH | Smoother when the ID matches |
| $33.75 state payment | You | Within 60 days of the DPH email |
| UPS delivery | Georgia DPH | About 10 business days, signature needed |
| First purchase | You or a caregiver | Decatur, Stockbridge, or Chamblee |
Working a warehouse shift when UPS comes by? Because a signature is required, pick a delivery window when you or another adult will be home.
Can Your Stonecrest Doctor Certify You? Emory Hillandale, DeKalb Clinics, and the VA
Stonecrest patients often see a nearby primary care doctor, Emory specialists, or the VA in Decatur. Here is how each fits.
Emory Hillandale Hospital
Georgia lets any physician fully licensed in the state, with a principal practice here, certify a qualifying patient, and there is no cannabis license for doctors. Hospital physicians rarely do it, but their records are exactly what you need.
Neighborhood Clinics
Your primary care office off Covington Highway or Panola Road can share your chart without signing anything for the state. No referral is needed to see Dr. Miller.
Atlanta VA in Decatur
VA providers cannot complete state cannabis forms under VHA Directive 1315, and registering does not put your VA benefits at risk. Request your records and share them.
Keep Everyone in the Loop
Some blood thinners and seizure medications interact with cannabis. Once registered, tell your Emory, VA, and primary care doctors so every record matches.
Your Stonecrest Medical Marijuana Doctor: Named, Licensed, and Verifiable
A Stonecrest patient can be certified only by a physician fully licensed in Georgia whose principal practice is here, and the decision is a medical one. Confirm Dr. Miller's NPI and Georgia license below first.
Dr. Miller reviews Stonecrest patients against the 18 DPH conditions, using records from Emory, the VA, or a local clinic. He goes through the diagnosis, the treatments tried, and your current medications, and tells you where you stand.
If a card is appropriate, he certifies you that day. If it is not, he explains why and the evaluation fee is refunded. Read Dr. Miller's full profile.

Before You Apply: I-20 Jobs, Arabia Mountain, and the Drive
The card takes care of state law. Your job, where you use it, and how you get home from the dispensary are separate matters.
Distribution and Warehouse Jobs
Large distribution centers along I-20 often run drug testing, and Georgia law lets them act on a positive THC result even with a valid card. Check your employer's policy first.
CDL and Federal Jobs
Commercial drivers fall under federal DOT testing, and federal employees under federal drug-free workplace rules. Neither accepts a Georgia card.
Arabia Mountain and Parks
SB 220 restricts using medical cannabis in public places. The Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve, the PATH trail, and city parks all count.
The I-20 Drive
After buying in Decatur or Stockbridge, keep products sealed in the labeled container. Driving impaired is DUI in Georgia, and a card is not a defense.
Serving Every Stonecrest Neighborhood and East DeKalb
Stonecrest, Lithonia, and nearby Rockdale County share the same physician, the same process, and the same $179 price.
