At the Iowa Capitol
Republicans are asking how businesses (4 growers and 12 dispensaries) are all going to be violating federal law here Iowa and that’s just okay with all of us?
So I’m asking, if accepted medical use in treatment in the United States means accepted by a state and intrastate medical use does not require FDA approval, why aren’t we saying that its legal instead of agreeing that it’s illegal?
Are we saying, “We knows it’s a crime, but we’re okay with it?” Really?
Republicans will just have to eat that?
I understand passion and all that, but we’re getting to the point where we really need to work out the details.
We should say the federal government is violating our states’ right to make this a medicine and the existing federal law already makes it legal for us to do that. Just because the federal government is unlawfully keeping marijuana in a classification that says it has no medical use in treatment in the United States is no excuse for us to just go along with it.
