Marijuana: medical use and research
What they say
At an Iowa town hall in June 2025, while in the House, she said medical marijuana should be for medical use and that it is important to have a robust medical program like Iowa's. She said she was concerned about "free-for-alls" around marijuana and would "happily" take a look at it if the science backs it up.
“I think what's really important around the conversation around medical marijuana is making sure that it's for medical use”
