Special Legislative Alert: Alabama Medical Cannabis

The Alabama House of Representatives has passed SB 46 establishing a statewide medical marijuana program. The bill now heads back to Senate for final approval. The bill, if approved (one more time by the Senate and signed into law by Gov.

More than a dozen conditions, including cancer, terminal illness, depression, epilepsy, panic disorder and chronic pain would allow a person to qualify.
