Code of Alabama - Title 20: Food, Drugs and Cosmetics - Section 20-2-111 - Legislative findings; cannabis research

Section 20-2-111 - Legislative findings; cannabis research.

The Legislature finds that recent research has shown that the use of cannabis may alleviate nausea and ill-effects of cancer chemotherapy, and may alleviate the ill-effects of glaucoma. The Legislature further finds that there is a need for further research and experimentation with regard to the use of cannabis under strictly controlled circumstances. It is for these purposes that the Controlled Substances Therapeutic Research Act is hereby established.
