Today, July 29th the Iowa Board of Pharmacy heard Rev Carl Olsen and George, a Federal Medical Marijuana patient living in Iowa, testified that marijuana, by law, should be removed from schedule I to II since in Iowa it has been in both schedules since 1979. However, the Pharmacy Board said they are bound by Federal Scheduling, which is untrue. According to 21 U.S.C. 903, as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Gonzales vs Oregon, 546 U.S. 543 (2006,) the state has complete authority to make an independant finding on accepted medical use. So the Board completely shirked its responsibilty to make an independent determination on state scheduling. The Iowa Code allows the board to adopt federal scheduling, but only when federal scheduling is lawful. The Board has complete independent authority to deviate from federal scheduling, which is obvious from the fact that marijuana has accepted medical use since 1979. So the Board just exposed itself as an agent of the federal government rather than a servant to the people of the Fake State of Iowa, which it is statorily bound by law to do . By both state and Federal Law . However the state Attorney General told Rev Carl, after the hearing, to take it to the next level, the DEA, who has accepted his petition for a hearing to remove marijuana from schedule I, stating that he has a very good case and that the Attorney General thought he would win, for the DEA, by law, should have rescheduled marijuana out of schedule I in 1996 when California legalized Medical Marijuana. HOORAY Everyone hope and pray this will force the DEA's hand for marijuana rescheduling .
