The article notes that it is non-smoking mj. They tried this previously and even the medical mj advocates were against.
Also interesting is the UMA against the initiative. Utah has the highest prescription drug abuse in the country. Over 7000 opioid prescriptions and filled every day. Pot calling the kettle... well you know.
“The article notes that it is non-smoking mj.”
Yeah, I saw that. Under the measure, patients can have 2 oz of unprocessed mj, plus they can grow up to 6 plants under some circumstances. That implies they would be smoking it. However, the ballot measure also says smoking not allowed. Not sure what to make of it.

______
Dispensaries would be allowed to sell marijuana to individuals with medical cards. During any one 14-day period, an individual would be allowed to buy either 2 ounces of unprocessed marijuana or an amount of marijuana product with no more than 10 grams of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol.[1]
After January 1, 2021, individuals with medical cards would be allowed to grow six marijuana plants for personal use within their homes if there are no dispensaries within 100 miles.[1]
The initiative would enact or keep bans on smoking marijuana, driving under the influence of marijuana, or using marijuana in public view except in a medical emergency.[1]
