Physician Resources

Alabama’s medical cannabis program depends on registered certifying physicians. This section gathers educational resources for physicians who are considering registration or who already certify patients, grounded in the Darren Wesley “Ato” Hall Compassion Act, the rules of the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners, and the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC).
