A petition filed by an Iowa doctor to add an additional condition to Iowa’s medical program today was denied in a split vote by Iowa’s Medical Cannabidiol Board.

PANS Syndrome, or Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome, was not recommended for acceptance by the Iowa Medical Cannabidiol Advisory Board’s 3-panel subcommittee recently. Today, during the meeting on Friday the 13th, all but Dr. Miller and Dr. Stoken voted to deny the petition to add PANS Syndrome to the list of qualifying conditions. Dr. Miller and Dr. Stoken did vote to not deny this petition, making this a split vote by the board.

The petition was filed by Creston based doctor Dr. Cheryl Standing, who in her petition stated she had over 80 child patients under her care with this condition who could potentially benefit from access to marijuana.
