Utah Marijuana Information
Quick FAQs
Utah has never been known for being a friendly place for cannabis enthusiasts, but the times certainly are a’changin! Gov. Gary Herbert has signed several pieces of legislature which in 2019 will allow local farmers that have been approved by the state to grow cannabis on their farms for both research purposes in state laboratories, but also to provide for dying patients who have signed doctor’s notes indicating they have less than 6 months to live. While this isn’t a full spread legalization of medical marijuana, it is a big step in the right direction, coming from a state no one expected to have much of any compassion whatsoever!
