For third time, state cannabis commission announces licensees

20 companies were awarded licenses in cannabis-related fields including cultivation, transport, dispensing, and testing.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — For the third time across six months, the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission announced licensees for the business endeavors related to the state's debut entry into legalized medicinal marijuana growth and sale. It comes after the first set of awards were nullified just days after they were announced back in June.

The announced licensees are as follows:

Cultivators

  • CRC of Alabama, LLC 
  • Greenway Botanicals, LLC
  • Gulf Shore Remedies, LLC
  • Native Black Cultivation
  • Creek Leaf Wellness, Inc.
  • Twisted Herb Cultivation, LLC
  • I AM FARMS

Processors

  • Organic Harvest Lab, LLC
  • Coosa Medical Manufacturing
  • 1819 Labs, LLC
  • Jasper Development Group Inc.

Dispensaries

  • CCS of Alabama, LLC
  • GP6 Wellness, LLC
  • Capitol Medical, LLC
  • RJK Holdings AL, LLC

Secure Transport

  • Alabama Secure Transport, LLC
  • Tyler Van Lines, LLC
  • Pick Up My Things
  • International Communication, LLC
  • State Testing Laboratory
  • Certus Laboratories

Applicants were provided the opportunity to present their business plans to commissioners last week, after the AMCC announced it would toss out the problematic scoring system created by a third-party which led to the nullification of previous awards.

“The presentations we received from applicants this week were insightful and allowed Commission members to ask questions about the contents and merits of their application,” explained Commission Chairman Rex Vaughn in a written statement. “We received applications and presentations from applicants who would make terrific licensees, which made our job of selecting a limited number of them challenging. However, I trust this Commission’s wisdom and discretion in selecting the best applicants to serve as licensees in Alabama’s newest industry. ”

Applicants who were awarded a license will have 14 days to submit the appropriate license fee. Any applicant who has been denied a license has the same 14 day window to request an investigative hearing before the Commission for reconsideration of said denial.

Next up for the AMCC: The Commission will receive presentations from integrated facility applicants December 5-8 and will award those licenses on December 12, 2023.

Physicians may begin the certification process to recommend medical cannabis to qualified patients after business licenses have been issued.
