Restrictive Medical Marijuana Bill Barely Clears Utah Senate
A medical marijuana proposal that would legalize edible, vapor, and topical cannabis products was recently approved by Utah state senators on Monday, with lawmakers voting 13-15 to advance the bill.
Senate Bill 73 still has one more regulatory hurdle to clear – 1 more vote in the Senate, which could happen as soon as Wednesday. Senate Bill 89, a competing bill that would permit an extract to treat medical conditions, was passed with an 18-8 Senate vote, and is now on its way to the House for consideration.
