Alabama Cannabis Consulting

Cannabis consulting for Alabama's leaders and communities

We are a consulting group working to close the gap between what the evidence shows and what Alabama policy assumes. We bring transparency, integrity and education to a conversation that has had very little of any of them.

Who we are

Bridging the knowledge gap

Honest guidance that lets people contribute to Alabama's future instead of guessing at it.

Forty years of combined experience

Our team has managed and operated multiple chain stores across the CBD, hemp and vape sectors. That is retail floor experience, supply chain experience and regulatory experience, not theory picked up from a conference.

We work from data, not vibes

Every position we take is backed by market figures, arrest records and published research. If a claim cannot be sourced, we do not make it. That standard is the entire reason anyone should listen to us.

We talk to everyone

Private groups, business owners, law enforcement and local governments. Cannabis policy in Alabama will not move until the people writing the rules understand what they are regulating, and that means sitting down with all of them.

2023 in numbers

What the current approach costs Alabama

These are the figures we bring into every meeting.

6,900

Alabamians arrested for cannabis possession

That accounts for 42% of all drug arrests in the state.

$22M

Spent enforcing marijuana laws

With no plans to change course, that spending repeats every year.

$8,287

Average cost to arrest one Alabamian

Covering law enforcement activity, judicial proceedings and incarceration.

Highlights

How we got here

Formation

Alabama Cannabis Consulting is created

AL Canna Consulting was formed to push back on our state government's attempt to criminalize a plant that people have used for over 8,000 years.

Research

Alabama cannabis research begins

We started building the evidence base that community leaders and lawmakers need in order to make decisions that hold up.

Consulting

The practice opens

We now consult with private groups, business owners, law enforcement and local governments, and run classes and workshops alongside that work.
