About Iowa Cannabis Program

The Iowa medical marijuana program was established in 2014 with the signing of the Medical Cannabidiol Act. This legislation legalized the use of low-THC cannabidiol oil for patients with intractable epilepsy. Over the years, the program has expanded to include more qualifying medical conditions and authorized dispensaries.

To participate in the program, patients must obtain certification from a licensed healthcare provider, register with the Iowa Department of Public Health, and receive a medical cannabis registration card. Authorized dispensaries provide patients with various cannabis products, including tinctures, vapes, topicals, and edibles.
