Botanical Sciences

What Botanical Sciences does

Botanical Sciences LLC is a private, vertically integrated medical cannabis company founded in 2020 by Dr. Robin Fowler and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. It operates as one of two Class 1 licensees under the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission, holding rights for cultivation, manufacturing, and dispensing of low-THC medical cannabis within the state. The company runs a 100,000 square foot production facility in Glennville, Georgia where it grows, harvests, and processes cannabis into a portfolio of clinically formulated products including tinctures, capsules, topicals, lozenges, melts, vape cartridges, flower, and proprietary SKUs such as the Abby's Hope 2:1:1 CBD/THC/THCa blend and the S2 fast-acting formula. Extraction is performed using CO2 and ethanol methods, with a proprietary Purity Extraction Process yielding a clean, nearly tasteless THC oil.

The company distributes through five company-owned dispensaries located in Chamblee, Marietta, Pooler, Stockbridge, and West Midtown Atlanta, complemented by a network of more than 130 independent licensed pharmacy partners statewide — the first pharmacy-dispensing channel for medical cannabis authorized in any U.S. state. This combined footprint places 90% of Georgia's population within 30 minutes of a dispensing location. Botanical Sciences serves registered Georgia medical cannabis patients with qualifying conditions including chronic pain, epilepsy, cancer, PTSD, autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and others, generating revenue through direct retail product sales and pharmacy distribution under a transaction-based pricing model. Patient acquisition is supported by an Elevate Health MD certification partnership for medical card issuance, a mobile app with the Relief Points loyalty program, and content marketing channels including a blog and newsletter.

Following the May 2026 signing and July 2026 effective date of Senate Bill 220 (Putting Georgia's Patients First Act), the Georgia program removed its 5% THC cap in favor of a 12,000 mg possession limit, legalized vaporization for adults 21+, and added lupus as a qualifying condition. Botanical Sciences launched vape and flower SKUs on the same date, coinciding with a 22%+ month-over-month surge in registered Georgia patients. The company is led by CEO Gary Long, with founder Dr. Robin Fowler overseeing the clinical mission and Montel Williams serving on the Board of Advisors since June 2023.
