More than 230 companies statewide have asked for applications for medical marijuana licenses, including 18 in Mobile County and 13 in Baldwin County, according to the Alabama Medical Marijuana Commission.
Others are considering the idea. That includes Foley-based Oscity Labs, founded four years ago by former Mobile Mayor Mike Dow and others.
The company moved two years ago into a former sweet potato chip facility in Foley. It grows hemp on its 350-acre farm in Brewton and the processes it at the Foley plant. That involves drying and dehydrating the hemp plant and then storing it. “We’re really excited to be able to bring these jobs and these products here to the state of Alabama and are working to build a team that can bring accurate and effective products to the market,” he said.
Dr. Sean Hollonbeck, the company’s chief medical officer, said cannabinoids don’t have the same side effects as many prescription painkillers.
