I attended the legislative forum on Saturday, January 31, 2015, at the Urbandale Chamber of Commerce. The event was well-attended and two medical cannabis advocates spoke out at the forum, Connie Norgart and Craig Miller, asking for production of cannabis in Iowa and expanding the list of conditions for which it can be used. State Senator Brad Zaun said he had voted for the Cannbidiol Act in 2014. State Representative John Forbes said State Senator Joe Bolkcom would be introducing a bill the week of February 1, 2015, in the Iowa Legislature to produce cannabis here in Iowa and to expand the list of conditions for which it can be used. Rep. Forbes said he had been talking with United States Senator Charles Grassley about changing the federal scheduling of cannabis.
