The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission is aiming to award permits before 2024 following several accusations that the commission deliberated in private when selecting license winners.
The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission is aiming to award licenses to growers and distributors by the end of the year after a bumpy roll out of the state's medical marijuana program that has included multiple lawsuits over the selection process. The commission on Thursday adopted an emergency rule approving a new process for selecting license winners. Companies will make presentations to the commission.
Medical marijuana remains unavailable in Alabama more than two years after state lawmakers approved the creation of a program to allow marijuana to be used for certain medical conditions. The state had to develop rules and and attempts to award the licenses have been bogged down in lawsuits.
The slow rollout of the state's medical marijuana program has been a source of frustration for patients like Amanda Taylor who has multiple sclerosis. Taylor, who previously lived in Arizona, said marijuana can ease the spasms and pain brought on by multiple sclerosis, but it is unavailable in Alabama. 'It's vital for patients like myself, who are suffering,' Taylor, 49, said. 'It's not about getting high. It's about healing.
