The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) has approved the offering of State Testing Laboratory Licenses. Interested parties must submit a Request for Business Application through the AMCC application portal by March 14, 2025, to be eligible for a Business Application Form, which will be issued on March 17, 2025. Applicants have until April 16, 2025, to file their applications.
"Despite some delays, we are excited to see the progress that's being made in Alabama's medical cannabis industry," said Director John McMillan. "There are several licensed cultivators who are growing and harvesting legal cannabis in Alabama, and this offering of state testing laboratory licenses is critical to move those crops through the process and, ultimately, into the hands of Alabama patients."
The Commission will review and evaluate all timely and properly filed applications, with licenses awarded on June 17, 2025. There is no statutory limit on the number of licenses that may be awarded.
"The primary objective of the Commission has always been helping Alabama patients through access to the benefits of medical cannabis products," explained Commission Chairman Rex Vaughn. "Delivering on that objective is possible only if we have licensed state testing laboratories to ensure those products are safe and satisfy the requirements of Alabama law."
