In Alabama, possession of marijuana is illegal. This means that the distribution and ingestion of the drug is considered illegal. The Alabama House of Representatives held public hearings on two bills in 2013:
A medical marijuana bill and a bill that would have taxed and regulated marijuana like alcohol. The medical marijuana bill, also known as HB2, was voted down by the House Health Committee. HB550, which would have made marijuana legal for adults 21 and older, was considered, but did not receive a vote.
HB 550, also known as the Alabama Cannabis and Hemp Reform Act of 2013, would have allowed adults 21 and over to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and cultivate 12 plants in a secure space. Marijuana would then be taxed similarly to alcohol, and would have tasked the Alabama Department of Revenue with licensing retail outlets and regulating the cultivation, distribution, and sale of marijuana to adults 21 or older.
If you are caught with marijuana, you could be convicted and punished. It is best not to cultivate marijuana or distribute it, especially to minors. Here is a sample of consequences that could occur as a result of possessing, cultivating, or distributing marijuana.
