A look inside Utah's medical marijuana industry

A look inside Utah's medical marijuana industry

Cannabis only recently became legal to grow in Utah for medicinal purposes, but growers say they’re feeling challenged by federal law while managing rapid growth.

Currently, there are eight medicinal cannabis grow operations in Utah and with demand fairly stable, the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food says they have no reason to issue any more in the near future.

    You give up your gun rights if you buy a medical marijuana card in this radical state. Just buy it from your guy don’t buy it from this radical state.

    Does Utah allow persons with Convictions to work in the Legal Cannabis Industry anyone??? I’m in Southern California, low desert, Desert Hot Springs where Cannabis is the Big Industry. In 2018 I paid the $59 at the UPS store thinking my 1996 conviction wouldn’t be showing up the DOJ Live Scan Background Check. But 4 days later I’m let go from my full time Cannabis Warehouse Job Trimming. I’m not allowed to Expunge the 28 year old conviction to gain Employment or get my cannabis job back. I’ve tried dealing with Elected Officials that I’m allowed to Vote in to change the Discriminatory Background Check Laws but to no avail. Desert Hot Springs has 5 or 6 Cannabis warehouses, over 10 dispensary’s, and numerous cannabis delivery companies constantly Hiring. Elected officials say its the Laws people voted on when allowing Legal cannabis in California. Then the Laws should be allowed to be amended to let persons with Convictions work in the legal cannabis industry. Yet if I can afford it I can buy an Ounce a day of Legal Cannabis from all the Businesses in town.
    Need Help any Suggestions?

    Anything to get more money from the growers and cannabis retail stores. Go give big pharma more regulations and taxes.

    Why do they need to double tax it? That would been a better report besides covering how this company is trying its best to stay afloat due to the regulations.
