Alabama Senate Committee Approves Medical Cannabis Bill
Alabama will likely see another chance to introduce legalization for medical marijuana.
State Sen. Tim Melson (R-Florence) has proposed a new piece of legislation regarding legalizing cannabis for medicinal purposes, which has been approved by the Alabama Senate Committee. The bill has been filed under the name Senate Bill 46.
Melson has presented this to the state Senate for the last two years. However, both times it failed to go any further.
This new bill will allow Alabama residents who qualify to both register and obtain a legal cannabis card. To be approved, residents will need to have been diagnosed with certain medical conditions.
