Stateward moves in cannabis policy discussed by Iowa officials
Iowa officials discuss expanding access to medical marijuana as the Iowa Medical Cannabidiol Board asks the Legislature to increase access beyond five dispensaries. A second license round is stalled by appeals from MedPharm Iowa and Community Cannabis of Iowa alleging scoring errors and bias toward Iowa Cannabis Co. The discussion includes potential uniformity with other states and rural distribution ideas, such as a food truck model.
