SALT LAKE CITY — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mike Weinholtz outlined policy proposal details Thursday that favor more extensive legalization of cannabis for medical use in Utah.
Weinholtz alludes to state Sen. Mark Madsen's bill from earlier this year that proposed legalized access to the entirety of the marijuana plant for qualifying patients. The bill was ultimately passed, but not before it was modified to allow only for medical use of refined cannabis medication made with THC, its active ingredient.
Use of the whole marijuana plant "has been found to be more effective (than) plant extract alone," Weinholtz's detailed proposal states.
The announced position comes two days after Weinholtz held a news conference to discuss the resolution of his wife's drug case.
