Every state has different marijuana laws- they are regulated by state, not federal law. Some states allow marijuana for recreational and medical use, some states only allow medical use, and some only allow certain low THC products for medical use. Most states limit the number of licenses they will grant and the window to apply for them. Getting licenced is never simple- there are very specific requirements and guidelines that differ by state and its usually highly competitive, which is why most successful applicants work with consultants like Dispensary Permits to help guide them. We highly advise you read the guidelines below thoroughly and then consider working with a consultant or using our templates and guides.

The History of Alabama Marijuana

Alabama legalized a very limited medical marijuana bill in April 2, 2014 when Gov. Robert Bentley signed SB 174 (Carly’s Law) into law. The law only protects a small percentage of patients suffering from a debilitating epileptic condition for the use of CBD obtained by the University of Alabama. The law also does not allow for home cultivation or a state-regulated dispensary system.

In 2015, the Medical Marijuana Patient Safe Access Act, failed to reach the Senate floor.

In 2016, Leni’s Law expanded on Carly’s Law, allowing for a wider range of use for CBD oil, and for 3% of less THC to be present in the oil.
