If you thought Alabama’s medical marijuana journey was smooth sailing, think again!
The state is still caught up in legal battles over who gets to grow and sell medical marijuana.
Last Friday, an Alabama appeals court decided that the lawsuits challenging the state’s medical marijuana licenses could keep going, much to the relief of some eager companies.
While the court ruling was technical, it basically means companies that feel they were unfairly denied licenses can continue their fight in court.
So, the medical marijuana saga continues, and everyone is still waiting to see how it all plays out.
What’s the Fuss About?
In case you missed it, Alabama legalized medical marijuana back in 2021.
Since then, it’s been a bit of a bumpy ride, with legal disputes and confusion over who actually gets to grow and sell it.
The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) had awarded licenses to companies, but then decided to redo the process, which caused an uproar.
