Following Years of Delays, Alabama Patients Can Finally Access Authorized Medical Cannabis Products
State-licensed sales began today
State-qualified patients can finally access authorized medical cannabis products from licensed dispensaries in Alabama.
State-licensed sales began today, more than five years after lawmakers enacted legislation regulating the medical marijuana market. For years, the program’s rollout had been delayed because of litigation — with regulators at one time suspending the licensing process altogether.
“For five long years, Alabama patients have lacked the ability to locally access medically necessary state-approved cannabis products from state-licensed dispensaries,” NORML’s Deputy Director Paul Armentano said. “These undue delays caused unnecessary suffering and needlessly jeopardized patients’ health and well-being. Starting today, lawmakers, regulators, and licensed providers must begin putting patients’ needs first.”
