Regulatory Overview
Iowa’s medical cannabis program (Iowa Medical Cannabidiol Act, 2017) is administered by the HHS Bureau of Cannabis Regulation. The program initially limited products to low-THC preparations; legislative changes allow registered patients access to a broader range of cannabis preparations from licensed dispensaries. Adult use remains prohibited and home cultivation is not permitted.
