WASHINGTON — Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, along with Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein, of California, and Brian Schatz, of Hawaii, introduced a new bill that would expand medical research of marijuana and its compounds.
"The parents of children with severe epilepsy and other conditions are interested in cannabidiol to try to ease their children's symptoms. I understand their interest. Research is necessary to determine the potential medical value of cannabidiol, and wherever possible, the government should help facilitate the scientific research needed to give these parents the answers they need," Grassley said.
