Press Release

JASPER, Ala, June 21, 2023

Catalyst Business Consulting (Catalyst BC) is thrilled to announce their client and partner, Jasper Development Group Inc. (JDG), has obtained a highly sought-after merit-based, limited license to process medical marijuana in Alabama from hundreds of applications. This monumental achievement marks a significant milestone for both Alabama locals, Jasper Development Group Inc., and the rapidly evolving medical cannabis industry in the state.

Alabama’s recent legalization of medical marijuana has created opportunities for businesses looking to enter the emerging cannabis market. JDG, a pioneering entity committed to advancing patient care, has positioned itself at the forefront of this burgeoning industry in a notably conservative state.

Under the guidance of Catalyst BC, JDG undertook a rigorous merit application process, demonstrating their unwavering dedication to patient care, compliance, safety, quality, consistency, and innovation in providing medical marijuana in Alabama. A managed, comprehensive approach and commitment to excellence enabled JDG to secure one of the limited medical marijuana processor licenses issued by the AMCC on Monday, June 12th.

The medical marijuana processor license will allow JDG to produce a wide range of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products including tinctures, topicals, lozenges, balms, salves, and more. These products will benefit Alabama medical patients with qualifying condition symptoms and improve their quality of life. While the state currently limits those who can obtain medical cannabis and the types of products available for treatment, Catalyst BC and JDG are hopeful that this first license will lead to more options for medical cannabis for Alabama residents.

“This is an incredibly proud moment for JDG,” said Tyler Robinson, CEO of JDG. “We are immensely grateful for the expert guidance and strategic support provided by Catalyst BC throughout this process. This license is a testament to our mission of helping our neighbors in Alabama with research and innovation in the medical marijuana industry.”

As part of its mission, JDG will build and operate a state-of-the-art medical cannabis processing facility, adhering to quality control measures to ensure the production of safe, reliable, and efficacious medical cannabis products. The company’s progressive vision will extend beyond its operations as it intends to collaborate with local healthcare providers, educational institutions, and other stakeholders to foster awareness and encourage further research into the therapeutic potential of medical cannabis in Alabama.

Catalyst BC, a leading consulting firm specializing in the cannabis industry, played an instrumental role in supporting JDG throughout the application process. The Catalyst BC team’s expertise in navigating complex regulatory frameworks, the in-depth details of successful merit-based applications, and their deep industry knowledge has proven invaluable in securing this license for their client.

“We are honored to have been part of this journey with JDG’s internal team,” stated Ian Miller, CEO at Catalyst BC. “We are confident that JDG will contribute to Alabama’s medical cannabis landscape and the successful outcomes of its patients. This license award is a testament to the openness and will of Alabama’s voters and public servants and the dedication, professionalism, and vision of both JDG and Catalyst BC.”

The issuance of the medical marijuana processor license to JDG marks an exciting new chapter in Alabama’s evolving medical cannabis industry. The collaboration between Catalyst BC and JDG exemplifies the potential for transformative partnerships between focused subject matter experts and bold entrepreneurs in this emerging sector.

The Recipe for a Top-Tier Cannabis Dispensary
Operating a highly reviewed, top-performing cannabis dispensary takes more than simply stocking product and unlocking the doors. It requires operational discipline, regulatory expertise, top-tier customer service, dynamic merchandising, and a culture of accountability and community. With the cannabis industry continuing to expand—and regulations constantly evolving—success is defined by how seamlessly a dispensary integrates compliance, product curation, staff training, and marketing into day-to-day operations.
Minnesota Lottery Results: June 5 Cannabis License Drawings and What’s Next
The Minnesota Lottery for cannabis business licenses reached a pivotal milestone on June 5, as the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) conducted randomized drawings for select license types. These lotteries were open to both social equity applicants and general applicants vying for limited licenses to operate as cultivators, manufacturers, and mezzobusinesses. Additionally, a separate lottery was held exclusively for social equity applicants seeking a retail cannabis license.
Cannabis Compliance Isn’t Just a Department—It’s a System
Compliance in the cannabis industry is too often approached as a box-checking exercise or relegated to a single department or, in some cases, a single person. In reality, cannabis compliance must be woven into every aspect of operations – from seed to sale – to truly protect and propel a business forward.
Cannabis Cultivation Turnaround: A Strategic Guide for Stakeholders
Creating a profitable cannabis cultivation business is far more complex than simply growing plants—it’s about managing a company within one of the world’s most dynamic and tightly regulated industries.

Open a Cannabis Consumption Lounge in New Jersey: Getting Started Guide
New Jersey’s adult-use law allows “cannabis consumption areas,” but only as an endorsement to existing licenses. The Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) decided not to create a new license class; instead, licensed Class 5 retailers (or permitted medical dispensaries) can apply for a Consumption Area Endorsement to their facility. This means only approved dispensaries (currently still coming online in NJ) can add a 21+ onsite use room. Applications for consumption area endorsements opened in January 2025.
Open a Cannabis Lounge in New Mexico: Licensing & Compliance Guide
New Mexico’s Cannabis Regulation Act (2021) explicitly authorizes On-Site Consumption Area licenses (often called “consumption lounge” permits) under the NM Cannabis Control Division (CCD). The CCD issues two types of permits: Type I (non-smoking, edibles/vapor) and Type II (smoking allowed). A consumption area license lets a venue legally serve non-infused snacks/beverages and allow consumption of cannabis products by patrons age 21+. These can be standalone lounges or add-ons to other licensees (e.g. a dispensary or restaurant that obtains a consumption license).
