It’s likely the 2020 Iowa legislature will try to adjust the state-run medical marijuana program, but it’s not yet clear what will win final approval.
A bill last year would have let state-licensed growers and pharmacies make and sell slightly more potent cannabis-infused products — but after objections from a state board about raising the “cap” or limit on T-H-C, Governor Kim Reynolds vetoed the legislation.
“Almost every aspect of that bill I supported and they were all recommendations from the board,” Reynold said earlier this week. “The only piece that I didn’t support was the jump from where the cap is right now to where they went to.”
The state advisory board recently weighed in again, recommending an increase in the potency of medical marijuana allowed for sale at five dispensaries in Iowa — but not as much of an increase as was in the 2019 legislation.
“They listened to some of the individuals that have been impacted by the program and actually changed one of their recommendations,” Reynolds said. “…That was a positive step in the right direction.” [Read more at Radio Iowa]
