Third Time Was Not The Charm: Alabama Judge Blocks Medical Marijuana Permits

The restraining order put an end to the issuing of licences across the board, putting an end to the so-called "integrated facility licences" through which operators would have gained an opportunity for vertical integration. Last week the same judge temporarily stopped the issuance of licences in the dispensary category.
