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.

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).
New York Cannabis Lounge License: Guide to Compliance and Success
New York State law provides for adult-use on-site consumption licenses under the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). As of 2025, New York is still in the early stages of issuing these licenses; only a handful of trial licenses have been granted. The Cannabis Law caps investment (no person can hold more than 3 consumption licenses) and prohibits vertical integration: lounge licensees cannot also hold dispensary, cultivation, or processor licenses. This was done to ensure lounges operate solely as consumption venues, not as sales outlets. Learn how to navigate the rules to successfully apply for your lounge license.
U.S. Virgin Islands Cannabis Consumption Lounge Getting Started Guide
The U.S. Virgin Islands legalized adult-use cannabis in 2023, and its regulators have explicitly created consumption lounge permits. Under the Virgin Islands Cannabis Regulatory Advisory Board’s rules (approved April 2024), a qualified operator can obtain an Adult-Use Lounge Permit. This permit allows on-site cannabis consumption by adults 21+ in a designated area. Unlike many states, the USVI permits both smoking and non-smoking lounges, provided you choose the correct permit type.
Nevada Cannabis Lounge License Guide: What You Need to Know
Nevada has enthusiastically embraced consumption lounges. In 2021, Governor Sisolak signed AB 341 authorizing the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB) to license cannabis consumption lounges. After extensive stakeholder work, the CCB approved final regulations in late 2023. Lounges are split into two types: Retail Lounges (operated by licensed dispensaries or microbusinesses) and Independent Lounges (standalone sites).
Are Missouri Cannabis Lounges Legal? Here’s What Entrepreneurs Need to Know
Missouri’s adult-use legalization (Amendment 3, 2022) did not establish any state license for cannabis lounges. Consequently, there is no state-regulated consumption lounge for recreational cannabis at this time. Instead, an underground network of private, membership-only clubs has emerged.
