Bill Summary

This bill relates to the medical cannabidiol program. The bill changes the definition of “medical cannabidiol” to include specific forms of oral, topical, and inhalable cannabis.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the definition of medical cannabidiol (medical CBD) in Iowa's legal code by expanding the allowable forms of the substance. Specifically, the bill broadens the definition to include various forms of cannabis plant extracts and preparations that can be delivered through three primary methods: oral forms (such as tablets, capsules, liquids, tinctures, and sublingual preparations), topical forms (including gels, ointments, creams, lotions, and transdermal patches), and inhaled forms (limited to nebulizable inhaled forms, vaporizable dried raw cannabis, and other vaporizable cannabis forms). This comprehensive definition appears to provide more flexibility for medical cannabis patients by outlining a wider range of acceptable delivery methods for medical cannabidiol, which could potentially improve accessibility and treatment options for individuals seeking medical cannabis for therapeutic purposes.
