Gov. Gary Herbert signed the nearly-200-page bill into law just after 8 p.m. on Monday.
"Utah now has the best-designed medical cannabis program in the country," Herbert said of the bill's passage.
“This is not an easy issue,“ said Greg Hughes, Speaker of the Utah House and sponsor of the compromise that puts the state in charge of overseeing cultivation, manufacturing, processing and distribution of medical cannabis products.
