The AMCC’s licensing process has been shady from the start, and now it’s allegedly attracting attention from investigators.
More upheaval in Alabama’s attempt to award medical cannabis licenses is on the way.
Following the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission’s licensing decisions a week ago – its third attempt at handing out those licenses – an army of attorneys, executives and investors have spent time picking apart the process and drawing up new lawsuits. According to three sources who spoke with APR over the last two days, multiple lawsuits are expected to be filed.
In addition, and possibly way more importantly, two additional sources have told APR that they have been contacted in recent weeks by investigators for the Alabama Attorney General’s Office and the FBI, with questions about the AMCC’s butchered scoring process. That process was ultimately tossed by the AMCC and the scores weren’t used, but rumors have swirled since almost the beginning of the application process of improper influence over that process by specific individuals with ties to certain applicant companies.
According to both sources, who have each been involved in the application review process from the beginning, there doesn’t seem to yet be an active investigation. Both described their interaction with the investigators as informal, or “fact finding” in the initial stages. “He seemed to be trying to separate fact from rumor to see if something illegal had taken place,” one source said.
