Companies that have been granted medical cannabis licenses by Alabama are now seeking a court order allowing them to start operations. AL.com reports. The bid is supported the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission, which has tried three times to award licenses since June 2023 but lawsuits have hampered that process.

In a motion filed before Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge James Anderson, AMCC attorneys ask him to lift the latest temporary restraining orders that have prevented companies from starting operations.

“Lost in the endless medical cannabis litigation are thousands of patients who the Compassion Act was passed for.” — AMCC lawyers in the motion via AL.com

The AMCC has granted licenses to cultivators and processors as well as a secure transporter and a state testing laboratory. While cultivators have started growing, integrated licensees are being blocked by Lawsuits.

In his ruling of July 11, Anderson wrote that the court was sympathetic to the public’s interest in getting medicines into the hands of the patients, but that the AMCC licence approvals of December 12 were “the Commission’s third round licensing awards in question.”

“…and two prior award rounds remain subject to ongoing litigation,” he wrote. “This means that the Commission’s efforts to issue licenses based on a third round are already on uneven ground.”
