Alabama Legalizes Medical Marijuana
On Monday, Alabama became the latest in an ever-growing list of states to legalize marijuana to some extent, as Gov. Kay Ivey signed into law a bill that permits the sale and consumption of medical cannabis.
With Ivey's signature, the Deep South state becomes the 37th across the U.S. to legalize medical marijuana. Alabama's new law was passed by the state Senate earlier this month following amendments made by the Alabama House of Representatives. It sailed through the Senate in a 20 to 9 vote; the preceding House vote was also a crushing victory, at 68 to 34.
