"This week advocates for the Utah Medical Cannabis Act held public meetings around the state for input about a medical cannabis law in Utah. They hope to gather enough signatures to put an initiative on the ballot in November.
On a Thursday night in the Box Elder County Commission Chamber, around 40 people gathered to talk about the initiative.
Kevin Carver lives in Brigham City. He had polio when he was young and these days he suffers from chronic pain, headaches, and muscle and bone degeneration. He walks with a wooden cane and his body shakes.
Carver tried ma*****na in Oregon under their medical use law.
'The medicinal side I’ve qualified for and was able to quit the opiates that I’ve been taking for years as soon as I was able to start with the ma*****na. And I didn’t have any withdrawal symptoms or anything. I felt the best I had in years,' Carver says.
Nearly everyone at the Brigham City meeting supported a medical use law. The Utah Patients Coalition is now finalizing the draft ballot initiative. They organized eight public input meetings in counties around the state."

As the Ballot Initiative goes forward, you are very much citizen-legislators on this issue and the more facts you have and share.....
