Confused about Iowa’s new hemp law? Here’s what we know

Iowa Public Radio | By Josie Fischels
Published June 5, 2024 at 4:58 PM CDT

Despensary — a shop selling consumable hemp and CBD products — opened a second location in Des Moines in the fall, citing high demand at its downtown location.

This article was updated on July 1 at 11 a.m. to note that the law is now in effect.

A new law that went into effect July 1 bars the sale of hemp-infused “consumables,” like gummies or drinks, to anyone under the age of 21. Unchanged in the law is that recreational marijuana is not — and has not been — legal in Iowa.

The new regulations restrict the potency of consumable hemp products that contain the psychoactive substance THC — tetrahydrocannabinol — to four milligrams per serving, or ten milligrams per container.
