There could be hope for thousands of patients waiting to get legal access to medical cannabis oil grown in Georgia.

A bill filed Thursday at the state Capitol is meant to unjam the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission.

In July, the GA Access to Medical Cannabis Commission awarded six licenses to companies to grow and manufacture low-THC oil. Those were formally protested by 16 other bidders.
