WEEKS BAY AREA
Last week, the Alabama Cannabis Commission awarded Gulf Shore Remedies Llc. one of only four licenses to cultivate medical-grade cannabis in the state. This is the third time this year the Fairhope-based company got approval; previous ones were invalidated by court challenges (concerning other applicants not this one).
Edward "Tynes" Stringfellow is listed as CEO of the company in the documentation and Colin Kelly COO; developer Kenneth Short is a co-owner.
Stringfellow also founded familiar local businesses Jubilee Landscaping, Weeks Bay Plantation, and Weeks Bay Hemp. Kelly said during the meeting he operates several similar cultivation facilities around the country.
Two "hoop' green houses have already been installed on the 13310 Mary Ann Beach Road property -- and other larger ones are planned over time.
Cultivation could begin in three weeks after licenses are actually issued, maybe late January; but at least one new legal challenge has already been filed that could delay the process again.
Video of the meetings are available via the Alabama Channel on YouTube.

How foolish and destructive.
I have prayed to the Lord our God, Yahweh, to make the wonderful plant he gave us when he created the earth in 7 days, to be legal in Sweet Home Alabama. Rejoice sister and brethern, we can now worship our Lord God in peace.
Doctor: "What's going on with you?"
Patient: "I'm stressed out, Man."
Doctor: "Here's your cannabis prescription. Have a nice day."
Let's not take our sociology, chemistry, biology, and criminology lessons from potheads. Even more, let's not reelect politicians who take money from the $30+ billion cannabis industry. The negative effects of cannabis are manifold, serious, and well-documented in users and in communities where the drug has been decriminalized.
