What’s in Alabama’s medical marijuana bill?
Updated May 10, 2021;
A bill to allow people with chronic pain and more than a dozen other conditions to seek relief with medical marijuana products is a step away from becoming law in Alabama.
The Legislature passed the bill by a two-to-one margin, with support from lawmakers in both parties. About 40% of Republican legislators voted against it.
The bill went to Gov. Kay Ivey, who could sign it into law.
Ivey said last week the 102-page bill was under review. Ivey commended the sponsors of the legislation and said she hoped to sign it.
