Time is running out on a bill that would expand Iowa's medical marijuana law.Gov. Kim Reynolds has until Monday to sign or veto a bill increasing the number of illnesses that can be treated with CBD oil and raising the legal THC level.A group of supporters marched to the governor's office to hand-deliver a petition asking her to sign the bill.An aide said the governor was reviewing the final bills she is under deadline to sign.Meanwhile, the wait has patients growing impatient."I think they're very anxious," said Sally Gaer, the mother of a patient. "I think they're frustrated and wanna know what the reasoning might be why she's taking her time."Erin Bollman said CBD oil would help her 6-year-old son Abram with his severe autism."My son will hit his head or punch himself and I'm worried he's gonna knock out his teeth or really hurt himself," Bollman said.The Legislature unanimously passed the bill, but those lobbying against it said lawmakers ignored the Medical Advisory Board's recommendation to cap THC levels at 4.5 grams.Flora Schmidt, with the Iowa Behavioral Health Association, said she fears a higher potency of 25 grams per 90 days will cause a new addiction problem."That already is into the psychotropic levels of addiction, and we already know that marijuana, meth, opioids and alcohol are the top four addictive elements within the state of Iowa," Schmidt said.Ankeny resident Paul Nye, who suffers from back pain, argued the law would help dampen the opioid epidemic."I was able to kick an opioid habit that I'd had for many years within seven days," Nye said. "I've been taking this medicine for six months and I think it's a lifesaver."Reynolds has not indicated if she supports the bill. Supporter said they hope she announces her decision before the holiday weekend.
