Tim Melson, a medical doctor and the original sponsor of the state\u2019s medical cannabis law, announced a new version of SB72 that will, essentially, bring about a fourth attempt at awarding licenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What exactly is in the new bill isn\u2019t clear, since Melson did not have a copy ready for the public hearing. But in a brief overview, he said the bill would start the beleaguered process from scratch, bring in an independent entity (an auditing firm) to handle the application reviews, handle those reviews anonymously for as long as possible, establish an appeals system that doesn\u2019t stall production and increase the number of integrated licenses from five to eight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He also offered some of the most pointed and harsh criticism to date of the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission and its repeated failures to properly carry out the licensing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Melson said he believed the legislature, in its bill creating the medical cannabis licensing process, was clear in its rules but that the AMCC \u201cdidn\u2019t follow them.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How anyone could believe otherwise is a mystery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The AMCC has admitted twice now that it bungled the process by refusing to follow guidelines set by legislation and by refusing to follow established state laws governing Alabama agencies. A large chunk of the problem has been the scoring processes that the AMCC established to review the applicants. Two different processes were subjective, wildly inconsistent and both failed to follow state laws.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"zox-post-ad-wrap\"><span class=\"zox-ad-label\">Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These are not opinions. They\u2019re facts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The AMCC admitted that its first round of scores, which was handled by supposedly independent scorers recruited by the University of South Alabama, were flawed. So much so that the AMCC volunteered to start the process again. But then, for some mindboggling reason, continued to use those scores in the second go around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the third round, it abandoned the scores from the first round and instead implemented a ridiculous system in which each commissioner ranked the applicants 1 through 28. That led to some applicants, including some who received licenses, receiving scores in the top 5, and then a random score from a commissioner outside of the top 15.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s a problem because, well, it\u2019s an illegal process under Alabama law, because under such a system a minority of commissioners could cause an applicant to lose out on a license.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And if I might speak for everyone: it\u2019s also really, really dumb. It\u2019s the sort of thing middle school boys would come up with to rank the hottest girls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It should also be pointed out that we already have a process that an agency is supposed to follow, according to the Alabama Administrative Procedures Act.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And maybe it is the stupidity or the ineptness or the brazen resistance to following basic laws, but after a string of speakers \u2013 almost all of whom had received licenses from the AMCC \u2013 Melson gave his thoughts, and it\u2019s apparent that he\u2019s had enough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"zox-post-ad-wrap\"><span class=\"zox-ad-label\">Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIf you look at the ratings by the commission members, some of them were rated in the top 2, except for some of them rated them like 28th, or 16th or 18th,\u201d Melson said. \u201cI\u2019m not saying it was a factor or not (in some applicants receiving a license), but I\u2019m just saying that if they got it right, it was a fluke. Because some individuals did not know how to score them or they were just incompetent scoring or they had a mission or a point to prove. I\u2019m not saying we couldn\u2019t live with it \u2013 I\u2019m sure these folks are happy because they got (a license), but if I was in the top 15 and didn\u2019t get one, I would tie you up in court until hell froze over.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consider what Melson is saying here. Because when you do, you know he\u2019s right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For whatever reason \u2013 as Melson stated, incompetence, a predetermined mission, retribution, something \u2013 the AMCC has flat out refused time and time again to follow basic Alabama laws. At one point, this commission, with a former circuit court judge on it, tried to go into executive session to debate and award the licenses \u2013 all of which is the very definition of violating the state\u2019s open meetings law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It has been a too-weird process from the start and all the way through. Made only weirder by the fact that the commission has fought tooth and nail to not follow the law and keep in place problematic scores that they admitted were flawed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s so bad that the guy who was behind this entire process now wants to simply remove the AMCC from, at least, the early stages of the selection process in an effort to make sure it\u2019s fair to everyone. That should prompt a whole bunch of people to ask just what in the world is going on here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Melson\u2019s legislation, assuming it\u2019s what he says it is, isn\u2019t perfect, and I don\u2019t care for the fact that it alters the AAPA process for licensing hearings, but it seems to be a positive step towards addressing the real problems that have plagued this process.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the very least, it should hopefully start us moving, after four long years, towards an actual resolution and marijuana finally going out to folks who so desperately need it. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"zox-post-ad-wrap\"><span class=\"zox-ad-label\">Advertisement.
