Iowa hemp law sets limits on THC in consumable products
A Cedar Rapids family credits CBD oil from Corner Store Apothecary for stopping their 2 year old's seizures and moving back to Iowa but fear a July 1 law change. House File 2605 caps hemp product THC at four milligrams per serving and ten milligrams per package. The bill also bans hemp products for minors and requires warning labels, while outlawing synthetic THC.

Iowa Hemp Act sparks debate over minors and medical CBD access
Iowa lawmakers passed House File 2605 to curb minor access to consumable hemp amid concerns over regulation and labeling. Governor Reynolds signed the bill reluctantly to shield children from psychoactive hemp, while critics warn it risks cutting off safe, nonintoxicating options and upending families relying on CBD for epilepsy and other conditions. The measure imposes a 21 year age limit, adds penalties, and limits online sales, with medical cannabis programs offering an affirmative defense for cardholders. Families like Loeffler and Farquhar fear increased cost, less access, and legal risk for children who benefit from CBD treatments.
