SALT LAKE CITY -- The medical marijuana advocacy group Together For Responsible Use and Cannabis Education is suing Gov. Gary Herbert and Dr. Joseph Miner, the executive director of Utah's Department of Health, over the new law replacing Proposition 2.
The lawsuit was filed late Wednesday in Salt Lake City's 3rd District Court. TRUCE founder Christine Stenquist and the Epilepsy Association of Utah's Doug Rice are the plaintiffs. It seeks to declare the legislature's replacement for Prop. 2 unconstitutional.
"Anything that defeats the right of the people to pass their own legislation under our constitution should be declared unconstitutional. Otherwise it’s totally illusory," TRUCE attorney Rocky Anderson said in an interview with FOX 13 on Wednesday.
