Medical Marijuana Products in Iowa

What Products Are Approved in Iowa?

Iowa's medical marijuana program allows patients to use a variety of medical cannabis products, including edibles, oils, tinctures, vapes, and raw plant material. These products will be available at licensed Iowa marijuana dispensaries.​

​

Edibles

Marijuana edibles are food items infused with cannabis, such as gummies, chocolates, and beverages. They provide a long-lasting and potent effect, but the onset is slow, typically taking 30 minutes to 2 hours for the full effects to kick in.

​

Oils

Marijuana oils are concentrated extracts that can be consumed orally or used for other purposes, like cooking or topical application. They are available in various forms, such as CBD oil or THC oil, and offer a discreet method of consumption.

​

Tinctures

Tinctures are liquid marijuana extracts typically taken sublingually (under the tongue), allowing for faster absorption into the bloodstream. They come in various potencies and offer precise dosing.

​

Vapes

Vaporized marijuana products, like vape pens or cartridges, heat cannabis to a temperature that produces vapor instead of smoke. Vaping is considered a quicker method of consumption compared to edibles, offering a fast onset of effects without the harmful byproducts of smoking.

​​

Suppositories 

Marijuana suppositories are small, solid, conical or cylindrical forms designed for insertion into the rectum or vagina, allowing for targeted and potentially faster absorption of cannabis compounds like THC and CBD.
