Alabama's cannabis market is currently developing, with medical cannabis having been legalized in 2021 through the Darren Wesley 'Ato' Hall Compassion Act. While recreational use remains illegal, the state is establishing a regulated framework for its medical program, with dispensaries beginning to open across the state in cities like Birmingham, Mobile, and Montgomery. This emerging market presents unique opportunities for businesses looking to enter the burgeoning medical cannabis industry in the Heart of Dixie.
