Patient and Caregiver Registration
The Alabama medical cannabis program is under development and is not registering patients or caregivers at this time.
Beginning September 1, 2022, the Commission will begin to accept medical cannabis business applications. Once the business licenses have been awarded, physicians may begin the certification process to recommend medical cannabis to qualified patients.
Please check the AMCC website often for program updates.
