Could Utah be the 30th state to legalize medical marijuana?
In Utah (Yes Utah of all places) we are voting on medical marijuana this Nov. I think it will pass 60%-40%. The Libertas Institute in Lehi, Utah is a wonderful non-profit libertarian think tank that actually gets stuff done. They have been a major push on this as well as Utah Patients Coalition,
Poll after poll show public support around 75% but it will not be easy. The Governor, both Republican Senatorial candidates, The Utah Medical Association, law enforcement groups and the LDS Church are against it. It sure has been a weird ride that is not over yet.

Actually Mormon church is not in favor of Cannabis but the members are spreading the healing plant to the needy!
Met lots of medical refugees from Utah here in Oregon.
