The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission is determined to kickstart the state's medical marijuana program in 2024, despite facing delays and legal challenges.
"We’d like to move forward with these people, the slate of awards that we’ve had in the month of December, and just get this show on the road so the people can get their medicine," Commissioner Sam Blakemore, a pharmacist, said during the meeting.
The commission earlier this month selected more than 20 companies to cultivate, process and sell medical marijuana in the state. Under commission rules, the licenses will be awarded after license fees are paid.
