KCCI-TV: The state Medical Cannabidiol Board met today to consider adding more qualifying conditions for cannabidiol treatment. The board heard testimony from Iowans before voting to approve chronic pain as a condition for use of the drug. The board voted down generalized anxiety, OCD and schizophrenia as conditions for use of cannabidiol treatment. Board members cited a lack of long-term studies proving it works on those conditions for their votes to deny it.
