Iowa Board of Pharmacy hearings
In 2009, the Iowa Board of Pharmacy was forced to review the issue of medical marijuana after a lawsuit revealed
they ignored legislation telling them to do so in 1979. Over 30,000 pages of studies and testimony were submitted.
The bipartisan board unanimously recommended legalizing medical marijuana, becoming the first in the country to do so.
These are just a few of those doctors and patients telling their stories.
