Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand wants to legalize, tax and regulate adult use of cannabis in Iowa, his campaign announced Monday, April 20, in a cheeky nod to weed’s unofficial holiday.
“We need to treat cannabis like alcohol in Iowa,” he said in a social media post. “It’s commonsense.”
Sand said he would tap experts to create age restrictions, quality and safety standards, THC limits and taxation rules for marijuana, which he would regulate through the existing Alcoholic Beverages Division.
