An Iowa mother said it would break her heart to leave Iowa, but she said she may have to if she can't get lawmakers to move forward with legalizing medical marijuana.Maria La France's 12-year-old son Quincy is an epileptic who can't speak and spends most of his time in a wheelchair. She believes marijuana would help him.La France has been meeting with legislators since October to try and convince them this controversial topic can actually help them win votes."Most of them want to help. I think the trouble is it's an election year and they're concerned about their reelections," said La France.Democrat leadership said members may be talking about it, but not as a group."There's been no caucus discussion on this subject," said Sen. Mike Gronstal.Republicans said they just aren't hearing enough support for it."We're not hearing law enforcement, were not hearing most of our folks in our communities thinking that medical marijuana is something that we should be focusing on right now, but we'll see," said Rep. Linda Upmeyer.La France said 1,100 Iowans with medical problems that could be helped by medical marijuana in a non-smoking form have sent lawmakers their stories.She said many of them are too sick, working or caring for the sick to lobby at the Statehouse. That's why she was there Thursday to advocate for her son -- and for them.She said not every state with medical marijuana has to be as loose with it as Colorado and California."There are other states that do this very responsibly," said La France. "If they stand up and help Iowans that will help them get reelected."La France was able to speak to several lawmakers on Thursday, but she said not everyone has had an easy time meeting with their legislators. A nurse who came to the Capitol to lobby lawmakers on the issue waited hours to talk to her legislator.
