Company asks judge to block Alabama medical marijuana licenses

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A company that failed to win a potentially lucrative medical marijuana license in Alabama asked a judge Tuesday to block the state from issuing the licenses to anyone, arguing a state commission improperly deliberated in private before selecting the winners.

The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission on Thursday nominated and approved companies after meeting in private for several hours.
