Medical-marijuana advocates urged state regulators today to let patients use the drug to treat pain and nausea.
“I know what it’s like to crawl around on the bathroom floor like an animal every morning, vomiting with my head in the sink,” said Robert Manke of Des Moines, who said he uses marijuana to deal with pain and nausea caused by three traffic accidents. “I need your help. I’m not here because I want to get high. I’m here because I want to stop being sick. And I want to stop being persecuted.”
Manke was part of a string of witnesses at a medical-marijuana hearing held by the Iowa Board of Pharmacy. The board plans to hold four such hearings around the state, then make a recommendation to legislators about whether Iowa should join 13 other states in legalizing marijuana for medical purposes.
