Overview
Alabama passed the Darren Wesley 'Iq' Holley Compassion Act in 2021, establishing a medical cannabis program. After regulatory delays, the first licensed dispensaries opened in late 2023, with the program gradually expanding through 2024 and 2025.
As of January 2026, Alabama has a limited but growing medical cannabis market. Only patients with qualifying conditions and a valid medical cannabis card can legally purchase. Recreational cannabis remains illegal with criminal penalties.
The program is tightly regulated by the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC). Product selection is limited compared to mature markets, with no flower sales allowed initially (though flower may be added in future regulations). Patients access oils, tinctures, capsules, topicals, and other non-smokable forms.
This guide helps Alabama patients navigate the medical program, find licensed dispensaries, understand costs, and stay compliant with state law.
How Access & Delivery Work
Medical cannabis delivery is not currently permitted under Alabama law. Patients must visit licensed dispensaries in person to purchase products.
All purchases require valid ID, a current Alabama medical cannabis card, and verification at the dispensary. Patients should bring their state-issued medical cannabis card and government ID to every visit.
Product Guides
Smokable flower is currently prohibited under Alabama's medical cannabis program. The AMCC has discussed potentially allowing flower in the future, but as of January 2026, it remains unavailable through legal channels.
Vape cartridges and vaporizer products are available at licensed dispensaries for qualified patients. These are among the most popular product categories due to ease of use and fast onset.
Pre-rolled cannabis products are not available in Alabama due to the prohibition on smokable flower.
Edible cannabis products including capsules, tablets, and potentially gummies are available. Alabama regulations limit THC content and serving sizes. Always start with the lowest dose and wait at least two hours before considering additional consumption.
Cannabis-infused beverages are not widely available in Alabama's medical program as of January 2026. Some liquid tinctures may be available for oral consumption.
Limited concentrate products may be available in non-smokable forms such as oils for vaporization. Dabbing and smoking concentrates are not permitted under current regulations.
Tinctures and oils are primary product categories in Alabama's medical program. These offer precise dosing and are suitable for patients seeking non-inhalation methods.
Topical cannabis products are available for patients seeking localized relief without psychoactive effects. These must be purchased from licensed dispensaries with a valid medical card.
Recommended Brands
Alabama's medical cannabis market is still developing. Available brands are limited compared to mature markets. Patients should prioritize products from Alabama-licensed cultivators and processors that provide third-party lab testing results and clear dosing information.
As the market matures, more brands will enter Alabama. Check with your dispensary for current product availability and brand recommendations.
