Legal status

  • Cannabis in any form remains illegal to grow, possess, distribute, or use in the state of Alabama, except by persons or agencies authorized to work with Schedule I CDS. Criminal penalties are harsh.
  • Cannabidiol oil was decriminalized in 2016. However, it remains illegal to have or use within the state. The law creates an "affirmative defense" for patients with very specific and limited diseases (seizures) who are found in possession of it. This means they arrest and charge first, then you have to sort it out in court.
  • CBD oil in Alabama may contain up to 3% THC, but there don't appear to be any requirements or provisions for verifying that number.
