What's the scoop on Alabama going legal. Herd it on news.
 
If it was "on the news", you should be able to google it and find all the info you want.
 
This Medical Marijuana Bill is being proposed to the Alabama Senate.


Senate Bill 326, The Alabama Medical Marijuana Patient Safe Access Act, authorizes the possession, production, and distribution of medical marijuana to qualified patients. Under this measure, qualified patients are permitted to possess between 8 and 12 ounces of herbal cannabis and/or cultivate between 8 and 12 plants. The bill also seeks to establish regulations governing the dispensing of medical cannabis in state-licensed facilities.

The link below from NORML has the full story.

Wow! Sorry to hear that!

I saw this on the NORML website about more ** in Alabama.

Alabama: Tell Lawmakers To Oppose Unscientific Per Se Standards For Cannabis


Senate lawmakers have passed legislation, SB 162, to impose 'per se' criminal penalties to individuals who drive with trace levels (5ng/ml or higher) of THC in their blood — regardless of whether he/she is behaviorally impaired. Please contact your House lawmaker and urge him/her to reject this unscientific standard.

NORML opposes the imposition of this type of per se traffic safety legislation for cannabinoids because the presence of these compounds in blood are inappropriate and inconsistent indicators of psychomotor impairment. No less than the United States Traffic Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) agrees, stating: "It is difficult to establish a relationship between a person's THC blood or plasma concentration and performance impairing effects. ... It is inadvisable to try and predict effects based on blood THC concentrations alone."

Moreover, scientific studies find that THC may be present in blood for periods exceeding well over 24 hours in some users — long after any period of impairment has worn off.

This proposed measure is an unscientific and disproportionate response to behavior that is already sufficiently addressed by present traffic safety laws, which criminally prohibit driving while impaired by drugs. The imposition and enforcement of this measure risks inappropriately convicting unimpaired subjects of traffic safety violations, including potentially those patients who have legally consumed cannabis in the privacy of their own home some days earlier.
