Legal marijuana oil for Iowans with intractable epilepsy took an incremental step forward on Tuesday, albeit one that ensures further negotiation between the Iowa House and Senate.
The House Public Safety Committee approved legislation decriminalizing cannabidiol, a marijuana-derived oil that has been shown to reduce seizures and relieve other symptoms for people with severe epilepsy. The bipartisan 13-5 vote moves the bill to the House floor for debate that could happen on Wednesday.
