SALT LAKE CITY -- In the final week of the 2018
elections, supporters of Utah's medical marijuana ballot initiative continue to
push for its passage.
"If we don’t pass Prop. 2 with strong
hard numbers, they can manipulate it and say, 'You know what? We can do
whatever we want at this point,'" said Christine Stenquist, the president
of Together for Responsible Use and Cannabis Education (TRUCE), a leading
supporter of Proposition 2.
Stenquist is critical of a compromise bill being proposed in the aftermath of Prop. 2 that will provide some kind of medical cannabis program for Utah.
