Alabama Court Ruling Voids Medical Cannabis Licenses – Ganjapreneur | Where to buy Skittles Moonrock online

An Alabama court ruling on Monday overturned the December 2023 issuing of medical cannabis licenses by the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC), CBS 42 reports.

The ruling is the latest setback for Alabama’s medical cannabis licensing process, which officials have attempted multiple times, but legal challenges have repeatedly hindered the process. The process may need to start again now, even though some operators have existed for over a year believing they had secured a license.

In its ruling, the Circuit Court of Montgomery County invalidated the AMCC’s decision to use an “emergency rule” to continue with the licensing process after two previous attempts were thwarted.

John McMillan, AMCC director, expressed his frustration with the situation in a WSFA report.

“Just continued high level of frustration with the way this has evolved, has become pretty obvious that there’s some powerful forces in Alabama that are intent on keeping this program from getting going unless they have their way, whatever that way seems to be. They’re coming at every angle.” — McMillan, in the report

McMillan said the agency is considering its options and has not ruled out appealing the court’s decision to invalidate the licenses.
