The commission hopes to give companies the go-ahead to start making medical cannabis products by the end of the year.
Updated: Oct. 26, 2023, 5:12 p.m.The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission on Thursday adopted a plan for evaluating business license applicants that calls for licenses to be issued in January, with products hopefully available about three months later.
The AMCC awarded licenses in June and again in August but put a hold on those decisions both times because of mistakes and because of lawsuits filed by applicants. More than 25 companies are listed as parties in a consolidated lawsuit pending in Montgomery County Circuit Court. The presentations will be made at public meetings, as will the license awards. Some of the applicants have accused the AMCC of violating the state’s open meetings law when it met privately to consider license applicants in June and in August. Vaughn said all the proceedings will now be open.and created the AMCC to oversee the new industry, which will be fully intrastate.
“This will give us the opportunity to be able to present to the commission, to be able to do this out in the public as well, so that the people can be able to see and hear from the applicants and the actual companies that are going to be running the cannabis industry here in Alabama” Mordican said after Thursday’s meeting. “So it will allow us the opportunity for us to be able to present our purpose, our reason why it is that we’re doing what we’re doing.
