BEFORE THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH

Petition by Carl Olsen for agency action related to Iowa Code Chapter 124E

PETITION FOR AGENCY ACTION

The petitioner asks the department to obtain federal exemption for the medical use of cannabis as set forth in the Iowa Medical Cannabidiol Act, Iowa Code Chapter 124E.  The activities covered by the act include: (1) license holders (cultivation, manufacturing and dispensing of approved medical cannabis products); (2) card holders (patients and caregivers who obtain the approved medical cannabis products); and (3) government officials who implement and administer the act.

The application for federal exemption can be found at 21 C.F.R. §1307.03.

This matter has been reviewed by the Medical Cannabidiol Board and the department staff on August 2, 2019.  The Medical Cannabidiol Board approved the petitioner’s request by roll call vote.  The vote was unanimous.  The petition and supporting documentation are attached to this petition in an appendix.  The minutes from the August 2, 2019, meeting have not been published yet but will be provided on or before the next meeting of the Medical Cannabidiol Board on November 1, 2019.
