Pharmacy board may look at medicinal pot
07/20/09|Chicago Tribune| by Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa - The Iowa Board of Pharmacy may consider the possibility of a scientific review of the medical use of marijuana.

Pharmacy board executive director Lloyd Jessen says the board on Tuesday will begin looking at a proposal that would lead to a series of public hearings around the state this year on medicinal marijuana. The hearings would allow public comment on the issue and look at the pros and cons of medical marijuana.

According to Jessen, a result of the hearings could be a recommendation to the Legislature next year.

Earlier this year, the board rejected the arguments of advocates who want to allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes.
A bill introduced to the Iowa Legislature that would allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes stalled earlier this year.
