🪴 The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission voted this week to accept 90 applications as properly submitted by companies that intend to take part in the state’s new medical marijuana industry.
Applicants were given opportunities to correct or amend their applications until March 24.
The University of South Alabama will work with the AMCC to evaluate, score, and rank the applications. The AMCC has full discretion on the licensing decisions within the limits set by the Legislature, according to a news release from the AMCC. “We look forward to an operational program that will not only benefit patients by providing relief to pain and other debilitating symptoms, but also will provide opportunities for patients with these debilitating conditions to function and have a better quality of life,” AMCC Chairman Dr. Steven Stokes said. Stokes is an oncologist.
