Three months have passed since the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission was first scheduled to issue licenses to businesses to begin the work of getting products to patients.Companies the AMCC did not pick for licenses have filed lawsuits, citing flaws in the process. Companies the AMCC did select are asking the court to make the AMCC stick with its choices and issue the licenses.
“I know the process hasn’t been perfect,” Ball said. “I don’t think there’s any such thing as a perfect bureaucracy and a perfect bureaucratic process. But you take what you got, you do the best you can with it. And I think the commission has tried to do the best they can overall. And they just need to pull the ripcord.
More than 30 other states have legalized medical cannabis. But Ball said that does not help the patients in Alabama. The law does not allow Alabama residents to obtain the medication in other states and bring it back to Alabama. In its lawsuit filed Oct. 4, Southeast Cannabis said the AMCC has no legal authority to rescind the license decisions it made in June and August. It asked the court to order the AMCC to issue its license. And it opposes the request by Alabama Always that would require the AMCC to restart the application process with new rules.
Products can include gummies, tablets, capsules, tinctures, patches, oils, and other forms allowed by the legislation. Patients who receive a medical cannabis card from a doctor will be able to buy the products at licensed dispensaries.
