Marijuana Business Magazine | April 2020 30 State News IndustryDevelopments | International & State Alabama The Alabama Senate passed a medical marijuana bill in March that would license 34 dispensaries across the state. The bill also would permit people with a doc- tor’s recommendation to use MMJ for 15 conditions. In addition, the measure allows medical cannabis in forms such as pills, skin patches and creams but not in smoking or vaping products. The legislation now moves to the Alabama House of Representatives, where its fate is uncertain. Alaska Wholesale prices for recreational marijuana in Alaska remain high, though rates have fallen slightly as more growers build out facilities and the market expands as it matures. While prices are strong compared to other mature recreational can- nabis markets, an arduous tax burdens cultivators to the tune of $800 per pound of wholesale. Marijuana business owners in the state report pounds of wholesale cannabis flower are selling for between $2,600 per pound (outdoor/trim grown primarily for extraction) and $4,000 per pound (indoor-grown flower testing at more than 30%THC). ■ Medical ■ Recreational Note:This map does not include states that have legalized only CBD-based oils.
