Iowa could get a second medical marijuana growing facility after all.
Eight organizations told state regulators they might seek a license to grow marijuana plants and process the plants into medications. But they still have two weeks to decide whether to apply.
One of the unidentified companies could join MedPharm Iowa, which has the state’s sole medical marijuana production license and is expected to start selling medications in December.
MedPharm leaders, who have invested more than $10 million in their Des Moines production facility, have complained Iowa’s new medical marijuana law is too restrictive.
