Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Georgia

I wish file a constitutional, civil rights challenge regarding privacy. I know in U.S. court it would be a 1983 action. How do I do this in a Georgia court? Any O.C.G.A. cites would be helpful. I'm not seeking damages but want to challenge the marijuana laws. The only case I can find is Blincoe, a crinimal case.

(http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=3851262027939378147&q=BLINCOE+v.+THE+STATE.,+231+Ga.&hl=en&as_sdt=2,5)

I think I have standing as I am accepting a deal in criminal case, but think I have to do this a civil case and in a Georgia court because privacy in GA is different from US rights.

Thanks,

DON.

This is not the place to get your research done for you, and instructions on how to file a case. If you have to ask, it is pretty clear evidence you need a lawyer. Even if you had the best case ever (and from your post, you certainly do not), you would likely lose without a lawyer because you don't even know how to take the first step.
