AL GA SC NE IA OH IL IN WV VA DE MD DC SD ND MN MA WI MI PA NJ NY RI CT ME State News Alabama Medical marijuana business licensing remains on hold in Alabama after a judge postponed a hearing related to the state MMJ regulatory agency's scoring process. The initial round of 21 winners for MMJ business licenses was announced by the agency June 12. But the licensing process was delayed after what Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) Chair Steven Stokes described as " potential inconsistencies " in the scoring process presided over by the University of South Alabama. A judge subsequently extended an appeals deadline for companies denied a license after legal action taken against the AMCC by companies denied licenses. A total of four Alabama companies are now involved in lawsuits against the AMCC. It is unknown when MMJ sales will launch in the state. mjbizdaily.com | August 2023 17http://www.mjbizdaily.com
