Alabama’s First Medical Cannabis Dispensary Set to Open
Patients with qualifying conditions will need physician approval and a registry card to buy tablets, tinctures, patches, oils and gummies.
- Montgomery, Alabama, is preparing for the opening of Callie's Apothecary, the state's first medical cannabis dispensary, with owner Vince Schilleci expecting to open in the next several days.
- Alabama's 2021 medical cannabis law restricts approved products to tablets, tinctures, patches, oils, and gummies, requiring patients to present a "cannabis card" to enter the pharmacy-like storefront.
- As of Monday, 181 patients were registered with the commission and 43 physicians are certified to recommend treatment; Schilleci estimates 100 mg of THC will cost under $60.
- Area manager Alora Frank, who has worked in Florida's medical cannabis industry for years, said patients often report, "Wow, I was able to stop this medication, stop that medication."
- When fully operational, the state program will feature 12 dispensaries across four companies, with Director John McMillan stating officials are anxious to fulfill the Legislature's vision.
