Cannabis Laws in Alabama

Is weed legal in Alabama? Medical only — cannabis is legal for registered medical patients, but not for general adult use.

Alabama's medical cannabis dispensaries are open to registered patients and caregivers. The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission reports that the first location opened June 4, 2026, with additional openings in August, September and November. Approved products include tablets, capsules, tinctures, topical products and specified inhaler or nebulizer products. Raw plant material, smoking and vaping products are prohibited.

Federally, cannabis is still a controlled substance nationwide — but that status is in flux. See where rescheduling stands →
