(Des Moines, IA) — The program bureau chief for Iowa’s medical marijuana program says the number of providers and users was up sharply in 2021. Owen Parker says the 16-hundred providers represent an increase of 21 percent. That was driven by a change in the law that expanded who could prescribe medical cannabis. Sales last year topped six-point-two million dollars. Parker says that’s a 76 percent increase from 2020. The average transaction price stayed steady at about 150 dollars.
