The Alabama Senate has passed a medical cannabis bill, which
if passed will make Alabama the thirty forth sate to adopt medical cannabis.
The bill will allow patients over nineteen to obtain a medical cannabis recommendation
for a variety of conditions like cancer, autism, MS, PTSD and all terminal
illnesses. The bill would set up the Alabama Cannabis Commission that will set
up a patient registry, issue medical cannabis cards and be responsible for licensing
the production, processing and dispensing of cannabis in Alabama. The
legislation passed on a 17 to 6 vote and now heads to the Alabama House where a
similar bill was introduced in March.
