Two years ago they wouldn't have even gotten time to argue the points in Alabama. Its good to at least see SOME progress, no matter how little. There have already been 2 bills that were presented but they were both shot down with no chance of passing. If they keep it up eventually they will get lawmakers and medical professionals onboard.

Quote: BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) - There are currently 16 states allowing the use of medical marijuana. And since the Tuesday elections, there's even one allowing recreational use of the drug. The question is, "could Alabama be next?"
Currently, there is a bill circulating through the state house that would legalize the drug for it's medicinal properties. Ben Crumpton, executive director of the Alabama Medical Marijuana Coalition, says there are at least 24 illnesses that marijuana can be used to treat. Glaucoma, cancer and HIV/AIDS are just a few.
Coming up November 14th, there will be a public hearing in the Alabama State House on the medical use of marijuana. Rep. Jim McClendon of Springville chairs the House's Health Committee. He says the hearing isn't on the HB 2. But it is a chance for the proponents of medical marijuana to tell legislators it's good points.
