The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission plans to award business licenses at a meeting on August 10, officials with the AMCC said at a court hearing Thursday afternoon, replacing the selections it announced last month.

Ninety companies applied for licenses. The AMCC hired the University of South Alabama to help rank the applicants, and the university recruited evaluators who assigned scores.announced four days earlier because it had discovered potential inconsistences in how the applications were scored. The AMCC has not released the scores.
Anderson kept Thursday’s court hearing informal and said his intent is to give the AMCC a chance to correct the problems. Anderson issued an order on June 23 that suspended the licensing process, an order that affirms what the AMCC voted to do at its June 16 meeting. Anderson said Thursday he was willing to extend his order until the August 10 meeting.
“A few of the commissioners looked at every one of the applications,” McMillan said. “We divided up the applicants and assigned the applications in different categories to teams of commissioners. And so, we wanted to be sure that every single application was reviewed by somebody who could comment in deliberations on their opinion of that applicant.”
As for not making site visits to the applicants, McMillan said the plan was to visit the applicants after the licenses were awarded but before they were issued. McMillan said it was not practical to visit the sites of 90 applicants, which he said would have been a total of more than 300 sites.
