SALT LAKE CITY | Utah patients can use medical pot; but concerns still loom
SALT LAKE CITY — Patients can use medical marijuana legally in conservative Utah after a compromise agreement was signed into law despite concerns from advocates that it’s too restrictive, but they likely won’t be able to buy it legally in-state until at least 2020, officials said Tuesday.
The state will need time to first build up a database to start issuing patients medical-cannabis cards, and then begin granting licenses for dispensaries, health department spokesman Tom Hudachko said.
