According to the Iowa Department of Public Health: "The Act provides that a person recommend, possess, use, dispense, deliver, transport, or administer cannabidiol if the recommendation, possession, use, dispensing, delivery, transporting, or administering is in accordance with chapter 124E of the Iowa Code."  This law also allows patients and designated primary caregivers to possess cannabidiol and requires the recommendation of a board certified physician.
