The chairman of the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission has resigned.
a radiation oncologist from Dothan, notified the AMCC of his resignation Thursday, said Brittany Peters, communications director for the commission.
Stokes’ resignation comes after a lawsuit was filed July 25 challenging his position on the AMCC. The lawsuit said Stokes was ineligible for the position because he is a trustee of the University of South Alabama. The legislation creating the AMCC prohibits public officials from serving on the commission, and Stokes is a public official because of his position as a USA trustee, the lawsuit said.Stokes has served as chair of the AMCC since it was formed two years ago.
AMCC officials have said they hoped medical marijuana products could be available in Alabama by late this year or early next year. But the licensing process for businesses that want to be a part of the new industry has been delayed.
