“First, I thank all of the integrated facility applicants for their diligent efforts throughout this lengthy licensing process. Second, I cannot emphasize strongly enough how much I appreciate the commitment and hard work of each Commissioner as we have navigated through this phase of the program,” explained Commission Chairman Rex Vaughn. “The result of these efforts has led to the award of licenses to entities who the Commission has determined are well-suited to serve patients through Alabama’s medical cannabis program.”

Following this award of licenses, the commission said the procedural timelines associated with the post-award licensing process will begin along with the pre-issuance site inspections. Those applicants who were awarded a license will have 14 days to submit the appropriate license fee.
The commission said that any applicant who has been denied a license has 14 days to request an investigative hearing before the commission for reconsideration of said denial.
Under the rules promulgated by the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners, physicians may begin the certification process to recommend medical cannabis to patients after business licenses have been issued.
For a patient to qualify for medical cannabis, the commission patient must have at least one of the qualifying conditions and be recommended for medical cannabis by a certified physician.
