Setback Strikes Alabama’s Medical Cannabis Industry, Licenses On Hold Yet Again

The issuance of licenses for medical cannabis businesses in Alabama has been temporarily halted by a judge. Montgomery Circuit Judge James Anderson issued a temporary restraining order on Thursday, preventing the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) from granting licenses for dispensaries. The order followed a legal battle brought by a group of medical cannabis operators against the AMCC. The operators accused the commission of procedural violations and failing to follow its own grading and ranking guidelines when awarding licenses. The AMCC had previously granted 20 licenses for the production and distribution of medical marijuana on 1 December, part of an attempt to establish a medical cannabis industry in the state. However, Anderson's ruling upheld a request by Yellowhammer Medical Dispensaries to halt issuance of licenses in the dispensary category.
