While medical marijuana is not officially up and running in Alabama, some steps have been taken in recent years to build legal business across the state.

Now that it’s growing across the country, Alabama State University is looking to help those wanted to get started in the industry. The university is offering five different online programs to learn more about medical cannabis.
