The state could have a total of up to 37 dispensaries under the initial licensing caps.

Dispensaries can only be located in cities, towns, and counties that have authorized them through a resolution or ordinance by a council or county commission.

Thus far two counties and six cities that have passed ordinances or resolutions, although officials said others might have done so and not yet notified the commission. The eight so far are Butler County, Cullman County, Cullman, Glencoe, Loxley, Montgomery, Russellville, and Tuscaloosa.
