Caregivers provide a service for medical marijuana patients (including those under 18) who cannot or do not wish to go to a dispensary to purchase their medical marijuana. A caregiver is able to purchase medical marijuana on behalf of the patient as well as help administer the medication. Caregivers are only appointed by patients and must be 21 years or older and register with the state as a caregiver.

For this reason, we recommend making sure you are fully aware of your employer’s policy regarding drug screenings and medical marijuana before moving forward with the process.
Alabama does not have any restrictions regarding patients on probation or parole, however, you must get permission from your probation or parole officer first before pursuing a medical marijuana card.

This will be determined by the state and dispensaries by the time the registry opens in 2022.

Alabama Medical Cannabis Card
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Alabama
Because Alabama does not allow recreational cannabis, having a medical marijuana card in Alabama will be the only legal way to access THC products in the state. As a registered patient, you will be able to purchase regulated medical cannabis preparations—such as tablets, capsules, tinctures, oils, and other approved forms—from licensed dispensaries, with clear labeling and dosing guidelines designed for medical use. Working within the Alabama medical card system also provides stronger legal protections than trying to manage your symptoms with unregulated products or cannabis obtained in other states, since your use is documented and monitored under state law.
Beyond these legal and safety benefits, many patients appreciate having a medical provider who understands the Alabama program and can help tailor treatment over time. You will be able to explore different formulations and delivery methods with guidance, make adjustments as your symptoms change, and learn how to use medical cannabis in a way that fits your daily life. For people living with chronic pain, PTSD, seizure disorders, or other long-term conditions, enrolling in the program and obtaining an Alabama medical marijuana card offers a more secure, reliable path to symptom relief than self-medicating on your own.
