Even though some states have recently renewed their interest in marijuana legislation, Iowa does not look like it will be following suit any time soon - for medical use, let alone recreation.
That said, the topic is still discussed due to its popularity in the state, as it is in many states right now.
Iowa is still open to the idea of discussing medical marijuana, according to a large population of Iowa, which includes some of the state Congress as well.
A 2010 poll showed that 64% of Iowa people supported medical marijuana. One of these supporters is state Representative Bryan Hunter.
A case has been made to allow marijuana to be used for medical purposes throughout the nation, and much of Iowa is still very interested in the subject.
Because of the recent laws passed regarding marijuana across the nation, more people are speaking out on the subject, but it is going to take a lot more for the bill to make it through.
State Governor Terry Brandstad is against legalization of marijuana in any form, so the bills would meet trouble even if they were to reach him. He has promised to veto any bills regarding marijuana.
This is not Iowa's first run with marijuana. The state has been seeing bills since the first one reached the House floor in 1979. It wasn't supported, and fell flat there.
Many have followed suit since then, and Iowa will probably continue to see many bills like this in the future.
