Utah Proposition 2, the Medical Marijuana Initiative is on the ballot in Utah as an initiated state statute on November 6, 2018.
“While the initiative remains important for the people of Utah, a deeper understanding of the plant is necessary for responsible voting and effective use.” Gary Austin continued, “Our objective is to provide Utah with their first public exposure to cannabis through true professionalism and expertise, and create a lasting first impression to the market.”
