Iowa Governor Terry Branstad is looking at the prospect to expand access to medical marijuana in the state.

House republicans floated an idea around last week, that would link Iowa and Minnesota to allow Iowans to buy cannabis oil from dispensaries in that state. Governor Branstad Monday saying they're exploring the idea.

"It's certainly an effort to try to balance the needs of families that want to have this avail to treat children or family members while at the same time trying to avoid unintended consequences that law enforcement and other people have warned about."

Currently Iowans can legally obtain a prescription for cannabis oil. However pharmacies in Iowa cannot carry the substance, and there is no technically legal way for those in need of the medication to obtain it.

Legislation this session to change the laws concerning medical cannabis have stalled in the statehouse.
