With thousands of Iowa State students coming from other Midwestern states —and the laws surrounding the possession of marijuana varying state-by-state — Iowa remains one of the most prohibitive states in the Midwest, making it a crime to possess any amount of the drug.

According to the Iowa State policy handbook for residence halls, “all state, federal, and local laws and University policies pertaining to alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and other drugs […] apply to on-campus residents and their guests.”

The use, possession or sale of marijuana may result in the removal of residents from on-campus housing.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed legislation legalizing the recreational usage of the drug in neighboring Illinois, effective Jan. 1. Meanwhile, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds vetoed legislation that would have expanded the state’s medical marijuana laws.

Iowa Sen. Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City, introduced legislation in the last session that would have legalized recreational marijuana usage in the state, though at the time he admitted it was unlikely it would become law, the Sioux City Journal reported. It did not pass in the legislature.

Possession of any amount of marijuana for recreational purposes is a misdemeanor under Iowa code, and first offenders face a fine of up to $1,000 and up to 6 months of jail time.

A February poll found 48% of Iowans support legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes, while 48% oppose its legalization.
