The group “Iowans for Medical Cannabis” is urging Iowa voters to press this year’s political candidates to support legalizing marijuana for broad medical use.
That’s Sally Gaer of West Des Moines. Her daughter, Margaret, has been taking cannabis oil for 19 months as treatment for her seizure disorder. However, Iowa’s law which decriminalized possession of cannabis oil for treatment of chronic epilepsy will expire July 1st. Gaer and other self-described “warriors” for medical cannabis say the law should be expanded, to include those who suffer from other conditions. Katie Krug of Grimes has ulcerative colitis.
Iowans for Medical Cannabis plans to post a list on the group’s website showing which incumbent legislators have supported providing access to medical marijuana in Iowa.
