senate.iowa.gov/democratsHouse Leadership has “moral obligation” to allow vote on medical cannabis
Prepared remarks by Senator Joe Bolkcom given during floor debate today
I heard today that the Iowa House won’t be back at the statehouse, ready to debate until Wednesday.
Is that really true? I can hardly believe it.
Sick and suffering Iowans are asking for our help. The Iowa Senate has approved a responsible way to get them the medicines they need. And the Republican majority of the Iowa House is taking two days off?
That is appalling. It is shameful. This legislation is the ONLY chance these suffering Iowans have.
Denying them a vote, a vote which would likely be successful, would be cruel and mean-spirited.
Washington is broken on this issue. Washington can’t solve this problem. That’s why 23 states created their own medical cannabis systems. That’s why Iowa should do the same.
Families affected by cancer, MS, Epilepsy, AIDS, PTSD, and other painful, long-term conditions simply want a safe, legal, affordable way to access helpful medicines.
The overwhelming majority of Iowans are ready to help.
This isn’t just any issue. It is a life and death for many of these patients.
If the leadership of the Iowa House wants to deny medicine to Iowans who need it, they should at least have the decency to allow a vote on Senate File 484.
In fact, I believe House leaders have a moral obligation to allow a vote on medical cannabis before this session ends.

My father has been suffering from lung cancer and the doctor told us that there is nothing he could do after doing 5 times chemotherapy and radiation and my father was not responding to treatment and not getting better. I was frustrated and confused and seeking advice from people until a friend told me about the Rick simpson cannabis oil and its fast curing ability of any kind of cancer and told me that her mother inlaw ovarian cancer was cured with the oil. I was desperate to save my father and contacted one of the oil distributor of Rick Simpson cannabis oil to get the miraculous oil. So far so good my father is responding to treatment of cannabis oil and the health condition have improved drastically for good, if you are a cancer patient looking for how to get the oil you can contact Dr Jordan on his email address (drjordan0000@gmail.com) to get the cannabis oil.
