Is HHC legal in Georgia?

Confirmed against a primary sourceVerified September 21, 2026
Legal status
HHC is not established as a scheduled substance in Georgia on this record, and it is not established as lawful either. The dossier's outcome is not verified and it holds an absence record against the annexes to Law No. 624: the search set was "HHC" and "heksahidrokanabinol", run across the list headings, the salts and isomers limbs, the named plants and the amendments, and it returned no entry. The comparison the dossier inspected and put back down was «კოკაინი». The hydrogenated cannabinoid was searched under its code and its transliterated chemical name, and the dossier's rejected comparison is the cocaine entry, which is not a structural neighbour of anything in this row. The dossier cites the annexed set as Lists I to IV taken together and never records which of the four lists a row sits on, so the placement is established at the level of the annexes and not of a numbered list. An absence record is a statement about one text on one date, so it is version specific. The final consolidated text was read on the Legislative Herald of Georgia, which the dossier calls Matsne, on 20 September 2026.
Consequences if caught
Capital exposure: none. Georgia has abolished the death penalty and the dossier records no capital route for any substance on these lists. The ceiling is life imprisonment, under Article 260 of the Criminal Code of Georgia for aggravated illegal circulation, and life is where the scale stops. That is the exposure a listed substance carries, and Article 260 operates through the annexed lists, so on this record there is no accepted entry for this substance for the offence to attach to. That is not a finding that the material is free of consequence. There is no entry established for the hydrogenated compound, and the generic tetrahydrocannabinol entry that this dossier uses for another isomer was not recorded as covering it. The official quantity table assigns a small, a large and an especially large quantity by substance, and the dossier records that the table is applied through the matched entry without reproducing any of its figures, so no weight is stated in this cell and none should be inferred from one. With no entry established there is no band in that table to read. There is no general lawful personal use allowance, and the absence of a small quantity figure for a substance is not permission to hold it.
If prescribed or medical
The prescription position is deferred here rather than stated. No Georgian rule on a traveller carrying a prescribed supply has been established for this substance, so whether a foreign prescription is recognised has to be settled with the Georgian authorities before travel. There is also no placement here to attach a rule to, because this row is an absence record that establishes no entry. No medicinal preparation of it is recorded.
Documentation
The dossier records no documentary requirement for Georgia and carries no column for one, so nothing is prescribed in this cell. What the row fixes instead is an absence: the search set "HHC" and "heksahidrokanabinol" and the date the text was read, which together are the only part of this row worth quoting. The useful contrast is with the other cannabinoid row among these substances that the dossier did match to a generic entry: this one it did not, and the difference is not explained in the record. The record and its outcome were read on 20 September 2026 and this cell is dated 21 September 2026.
Primary sources
  • Georgia, Law No. 624 and its annexed Lists I to IV, with Article 260 of the Criminal Code of Georgia carrying the penalty ceiling
  • this row rests on absence record GEO-45 against those annexes, with the search set "HHC" and "heksahidrokanabinol" and the rejected comparison «კოკაინი». Read in the final consolidated text on the Legislative Herald of Georgia, which the dossier calls Matsne, on 20 September 2026. This row is cited as an absence although another row among these substances accepts a generically named cannabinoid entry, and no reason for the difference is recorded. The set that produced this record used two genuinely different names for the substance rather than one name in two cases. No per row link exists in the dossier this cell is built from, which carries no web address for this substance or for any other, so the instrument is cited in prose and no address is given
  • none has been taken from the previous version of this cell or from anywhere else. The dossier's outcome for this row is not verified.
