Iowa’s new governor-elect, Rob Sand, wants to legalize marijuana, but his plan does not include home grown.[1] Under Sand’s plan, it’s okay for a businesses to sell you marijuana, but it’s not okay for you to grow it yourself. Commercialization is routine, of course, but not without a free market. A free market would have to compete with your right to grow your own to earn your business.
Many would choose to buy marijuana, but that choice should not be forced on consumers by the government. Nearly half the states already allow home grown, including four states that share borders with Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, and South Dakota.[2] Why would Iowa allow businesses to sell marijuana without allowing Iowans to grow it themselves?
