Shipping Regulations

– It’s Federally illegal to transport cannabis products across state lines, excluding hemp-derived CBD products
– Importing certain materials such as vape batteries and cartridges may be considered Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems or ENDS under the PACT ACT, and thus may be challenging to ship.
-Registered Alabama Secure Transporters can transport medical cannabis between licensed facilities only – this does not allow for transport to patients or individuals.
