Marijuana Business Magazine February 2019

February 2019 | mjbizdaily.com 25 Iowa While Iowa is considered by many to be a CBD-only state, the launch of MMJ sales in December included products high in THC. The Medical Cannabidiol Act limits cannabis strains to 3%THC. However, since smokable flower is prohibited in Iowa—and patients can purchase only products such as capsules, tinctures and topicals—the 3%THC limit applies to the final weight of the end product, not the THC content in the plant itself. For example, a capsule that weighs 600 milligrams can contain up to 20 milligrams of THC—3% of the total weight of the capsule. Maine Atlantic Farms Gas N’ Grass, Maine’s first medical cannabis convenience store, opened in Portland. Adults with a Maine medical marijuana card and government-issued identification will be able to buy MMJ products such as cannabis-infused gummies, tinctures and smokable marijuana from a walk-in cooler. The store also will sell gas and traditional convenience store snacks.
