The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) is a state agency created in 2021 by the Darren Wesley "Ato" Hall Compassion Act (Act of Alabama 2021 to regulate the cultivation, testing, transport, distribution and sale of products made from marijuana (cannabis sativa) for approved medical treatments.

The commission is funded by license fees and a 9% tax on gross sales. It selected John McMillan, then Alabama State Treasurer, to serve as its executive director.

Licensees

Under the law, the application process for licenses began on September 1, 2022. The commission planned to license as many as 12 cultivators, 4 processors and 4 dispensaries (with up to 3 locations each). In addition, up to 5 integrated companies could be licensed to grow, process, transport and dispense medical cannabis, with that type of license allowing up to 5 dispensary locations per company.

In the first year of licensing, 90 companies applied for approval by the commission, from which 23 were selected during a closed meeting on Monday June 12, 2023. Due to faults in the process, the AMCC awarded a new set of licenses on August 10 of that year, but then rescinded those as well.
