The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission Tuesday awarded five integrated facilities licenses, wrapping up its third attempt this year to award licenses for medical cannabis production.
The awards for the facilities — which can grow, process and sell medical cannabis onsite – followed four days of presentations last week from applicants and months of litigation over the AMCC’s prior methods of evaluating applications.
“[Today] was a milestone for us. Maybe the third time is a charm,” said AMCC Chair Rex Vaughn.
The five integrated facilities awarded a license were Trulieve AL based in Lowndes County; Sustainable Alabama in Lee County; Wagon Trail Med-Serv based in Cullman County; Flowerwood Medical Cannabis in Loxley in Baldwin County, and Specialty Medical Products of Alabama based in Wetumpka in Elmore County.
The commission awarded 20 licenses for cultivating, processing, dispensing, transporting and testing cannabis on December 1.
The commission identified 33 candidates for the five licenses. 38 initially applied but two companies withdrew their application. Three were disqualified for failure to address pass/fail items on their applications.
Ray French, chief operating officer for Specialty Medical Products of Alabama said the process was nerve-racking but that he was excited to receive a license. His other business, Oscity Labs, already produces CBD edibles and tinctures in an integrated facility. [Read More @ The Alabama Reflector]
