State officials last week took the first step toward making medical marijuana available in Alabama, finalizing nominations to a new state body charged with regulating medical cannabis.
The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission, created under the medical cannabis law signed by Gov. Kay Ivey earlier this year, is charged with registering patients and issuing cards allowing the use of medical cannabis; specifying dosages, and licensing facilities that process, transport, test and dispense medical marijuana. Cultivators will be licensed by the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries.
The commission will also oversee cannabis products and maintain data on their use.
