New Rules to Qualify for Iowa Medical Marijuana
Card

For a person to get a Iowa Medical Marijuana
Card, a doctor must certify that they have a
chronic or debilitating disease, medical
condition, or treatment that causes cachexia or
wasting syndrome, severe, debilitating pain,
severe nausea, seizures, or severe and
long-lasting muscle spasms, such as those caused
by degenerative disorders.

Since medical marijuana is now legal in the state
of Iowa, it can be used to treat people with
chronic or untreatable pain. Chronic pain is
pain that lasts for a long time and is either
very painful or hard to get rid of. This means
that anyone with chronic pain, like headaches,
migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, any kind of
arthritis or inflammation, or any other condition
that causes a lot of pain can get medical
marijuana in Iowa. This is, of course, only true
if the patient has proof that they have been
treated for chronic pain in the past. Medical
marijuana could be a good way to deal with
long-term pain. Researchers have found that THC
(tetrahydrocannabinol) is a good painkiller for
cancer patients. They also found that it didn't
have any of the harmful side effects that many
traditional medicines do. Patients have said that
different kinds of pain have gone away. Mainly,
people who have pain related to the system have
seen big improvements. Opiate addiction is
destroying lives and destroying communities all
over the country. As a result, cannabis has
become a trusted alternative for people who have
pain every day.3

It is well known that chemotherapy and radiation
treatments often cause people to feel sick and
throw up. Several medical cannabis products have
been shown to reduce nausea and other side
effects of these treatments by a large amount.
2. Nausea
5
Loss of appetite is often a side effect of
chemotherapy and radiation treatment, just like
feeling sick. Without a reason, it can be hard
for people with cancer to eat enough calories.
This will cause you to lose muscle mass, feel
tired all the time, and become less mobile. But
certain cannabinoids have been shown to help
people who are getting treatment regain their
appetite.
3. Appetite Loss
6
Neuropathy is usually caused by nerve damage,
which can happen as a side effect of chemotherapy
and other types of cancer treatments. Neuropathy
is often hard to describe because the symptoms
are so different from person to person. Patients
often feel weak, numb, pins and needles, or like
they are on fire. No one knows exactly how
marijuana helps, but many people with neuropathy
say that it makes them feel a lot better.

People with cachexia can get so weak that their
bodies are more likely to get sick. This makes it
more likely that they will die from their
condition. Since medical marijuana is now legal
in Iowa, people with cachexia or wasting syndrome
may be able to get medical marijuana to help with
their condition.
5. Cachexia
8
How Does Medical Marijuana Help People with
Cachexia
At the moment, neither a treatment plan nor a
drug has been shown to treat cachexia and its
symptoms well. As more research is done, there is
a better chance that marijuana could be used to
treat cachexia and cut down on its
symptoms. Most of the time, cachexia patients
use cannabis to help with their appetite, nausea
and vomiting, depression, and energy.

Epilepsy, which includes seizure disorders, is
the fourth most common disorder, and about 80,000
people in the State of Mount Rushmore live with
it right now. Scientists haven't found a cure for
this disease yet, even though it affects a lot of
people and can make their lives very hard. There
are ways to deal with the condition and keep side
effects and seizures to a minimum. Medical
marijuana is one of these treatments, and it is
now available in the state. Patients with
epilepsy can use medical marijuana to relieve
their symptoms and stop their seizures.
6. Epilepsy and Other Seizure Disorders
10
Epilepsy and other Seizure Disorders, as well
asMedicalMarijuana
At the moment, drugs are the only treatment for
epilepsy that is commonly given. Some estimates
say that about a third of people with epilepsy
have forms of the disease that can't be treated
with medicines that are currently available.
Without the easiest way to control seizures,
epilepsy is a very painful disease. People who
choose to take medicine to treat their epilepsy
often have unpleasant side effects like feeling
dizzy, having trouble sleeping, getting skin
rashes, having trouble remembering things, and
more. The fact that some drugs have bad side
effects and that some people don't get better
with them makes it even better that Iowa now has
cannabis as another treatment option. Medical
marijuana has been studied for years as a way to
treat epilepsy. Cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive
part of marijuana, controls travel health well
and makes seizures less likely to happen.
Cannabidiol (CBD) won't give you the "high" that
many marijuana users look for. CBD doesn't have a
big effect on a person's mind because it doesn't
make them high. Instead, it works with receptors
in the body to change things like pain,
inflammation, and anxiety. Notably, CBD can also
be used to stop seizures.

How to Get Medical Cannabis in Iowa
Also, make sure you are at least 18 years old,
and if you are under 18, get the medicine with
the help of an adult. The person who will apply
for the card should be at least 21 years old. You
will also need a certification from a doctor in
order to move forward with your application.

Conclusion
People who seem to have one of the above
conditions can get a Iowa Medical Marijuana card.
The state protects people who have the card
because it is against the law to use cannabis in
the state. You can also apply for the card
without having to leave your house. But if you
live in this state, you can apply for the card.
