Iowa House Democrats Introduce Bill To Legalize Cannabis
Lawmaker says the Iowa proposal has support across party lines
On Tuesday, members of the Iowa House introduced a bill that would expand the state’s medical marijuana program while also legalizing adult marijuana use.
According to the bill, Iowans over 21 years old could legally purchase marijuana for recreational use from a licensed retail store.
“We’ve listened to Iowans and heard from people of all parties in all corners of the state who strongly believe it’s time to legalize marijuana. This common-sense bill we’re introducing today isn’t about politics, it’s about people,” said House Democratic Leader Jennifer Konfrst. “Our bill is an opportunity this session to put partisanship aside and work together to get something done that a majority of Iowans want.”
