Let Utah Lead the Way on Medical Marijuana

   It will have to wait a year, but it would be wonderful if Utah passed a medical marijuana bill.
   Hold it there, for I do not mean a bill patterned after those in other states. No, I mean a bill that learns from the mistakes made in other states, a bill that frees marijuana for use for those who can benefit from it medically.
   Without freeing it for those who would use it recreationally.
   I wonder if marijuana has all the benefits it is touted to have, medically. Still, with the public pressure to legalize the drug, medicinally, it would be wonderful to craft a bill that works, that does not open the door for recreational use. I don't know of any state that has been successful at this, although it is hard to learn exactly what has been done in other states. We speak of Utah solutions. It would be wonderful to see this become a Utah solution. I would like to see Utah crate a law that other states turn to for a pattern. The whole nation is considering this, so lead the way in how it should be done.
    Perhaps waiting a year is better, anyway, as medicinal marijuana remains illegal by federal law, although, I am not sure if that ban extends to components of marijuana, since the FDA has said it is open to them, and one such product is in the third stage of FDA testing. Still, I have heard federal legislation might lift the ban on medical marijuana.
