5. Pub­lic Com­ment Peri­od — Mike McK­elvey, Chair
Carl Olsen — pri­vate cit­i­zen, addressed the board with a sin­gle ques­tion. “Is every­thing autho­rized by 124E a fed­er­al crime?” Mr. Olsen indi­cat­ed that he has also sub­mit­ted this ques­tion in writ­ing to the Iowa Dept. of Pub­lic Health for com­ment.

6. Peti­tion for Rec­om­men­da­tion to the IDPH — Sarah Reiset­ter, Deputy Direc­tor
The peti­tion­er, Carl Olsen, had an oppor­tu­ni­ty to address the Board. The peti­tion­er is ask­ing the Board to rec­om­mend that the state board of health con­sid­er ask­ing the DEA to rec­og­nize Iowa’s med­ical cannabis pro­gram as exempt from fed­er­al drug law in recog­ni­tion of the state’s deter­mi­na­tion that mar­i­jua­na does have a med­ical use by virtue of the adop­tion of Iowa Code chap­ter 124E. Board mem­bers asked the peti­tion­er if he had dis­cussed the mat­ter with leg­is­la­tors. He shared that yes he had, and that an amend­ment passed in both sub­com­mit­tee and full com­mit­tee seek­ing to clar­i­fy that Iowa code chap­ter 124E does not con­flict with any fed­er­al law.
A motion was made by Dr. Cheyne to for­ward the peti­tion to the State Board of Health, with a rec­om­men­da­tion for con­sid­er­a­tion; a sec­ond motion was made by Dr. Richards.
Cheyne — aye
Liesveld — aye
Miller — aye
Richards — aye
Shreck — aye
Sto­ken — aye
McK­elvey — aye
Motion car­ried unan­i­mous­ly
