STATE LAWMAKERS ON A SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE HAVE AGREED TO ADVANCE A BILL THAT WOULD DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF MEDICAL CANNABIS DISPENSARIES IN IOWA, BUT THEY’RE EXPRESSING RESERVATIONS ABOUT THE PLAN.
ABOUT 18-THOUSAND IOWANS ARE CURRENTLY REGISTERED TO BUY CANNABIDIOL OR C-B-D PRODUCTS FROM THE FIVE STATE LICENSED BUSINESSES.
SENATOR MIKE BOUSSELOT OF ANKENY SAYS A PROLIFERATION OF PRODUCTS THAT PRODUCE A HIGH ARE BEING SOLD ELSEWHERE.

THE FIVE MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES LICENSED BY THE STATE ARE IN SIOUX CITY, COUNCIL BLUFFS, CORALVILLE, WATERLOO AND WINDSOR HEIGHTS.
THE IOWA CANNABIS COMPANY OPERATES THREE OF THOSE AND A LOBBYIST FOR THE COMPANY RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT PART OF THE BILL THAT SAYS IF THE NUMBER OF DISPENSARIES EXPANDS TO 10, ONE COMPANY COULD ONLY OPERATE THREE.
TIM COONAN IS A LOBBYIST FOR GREEN LEAF CANNABIS COMPANY, A FIRM THAT BACKS THE BILL BECAUSE IT WANTS TO APPLY FOR A LICENSE.
