Medical MJ in utah?

That's what I Just did this last week from St George to Denver. Its like a different world just a state over, its crazy.

 

i justed checked MMP and said that "The Utah Legislation has ended its 2010 session without passing, or even considering medical marijuana legislation."

sorry bro but Utah might be dead last if at all to pass a medical marijuana bill. Can you even get real beer there? i lived in provo for 5 months and none of the stores held liquor.

 

Way back when Utah was still a territory, some missionaries brought back some Mexican cannabis. It became popular in Utah briefly, before the leaders of the church realized it made the members question things a little too much.
Can't have any of that open mindedness going around, you know.

So, Utah was one of the first places in the US to ban the stuff.

Like a lot of the bible belt, Utah will be one of the last to legalize. Perhaps it will happen sooner than I think, the mormon percentage of the population keeps dropping, unfortunately there's enough of the good old boys in positions of power within the state to keep that power mormon for a while yet.

 

So it's really that primitive huh

 

Most of my wife's family live in Utah, and yes, they're ALL in the church. Utah is a beautiful place, and there are some great people who live there who want nothing more than to be left alone by the church. Unfortunately the church owns a TON of land and wields considerable influence over everything. No, I don't think MMJ will ever be legal there, unless the church suddenly changes their attitude which will never happen.

Sometimes I think they forget about the separation between Church and State, but then again these are people who BELIEVE that Jesus was resurrected a second time and spent a shitload of time in the Americas where the Natives were white until they pissed off God.

 

Yes, you can get real beer, wine and liquor there, but only in bars (which are finally open to all 21+ without a "membership") and in the state-run liquor stores. Low percentage beer (3.2%) is available everywhere. Utah actually has some outstanding craft breweries!

I don't see the state being proactive AT ALL, EVER when it comes to decrim/legalization/mmj. It did take utah about 30 years after federal legalization to make homebrewing beer legal. On the other hand, Utah was the final needed vote to repeal alcohol prohibition back in the day.

Just like most red states, it is a matter of "we want limited government everywhere but here."

Top shelf weed is pretty easy to come by in Salt Lake City and most city cops won't hassle you if you keep your shit on the DL, but definitely don't hold your breath for MMJ!

 

Well, strictly speaking, many stars will probably burn out before I get off work today...

 

No high point drafts unfortunately, but tons of great, flavorful local beers.

 

I fucking hate living here in Utah, ive been here since 2006, I was 17 when my parents decided its time to move out of California.

Ive done 15 days jail sentance for a gram
My license wont be reinstated until 2013
once police know you smoke weed they are a shit magnet

I have seriously considered going to the gun show and getting a fully automatic weapon and just lay into every cop, detective, judge, law maker I can find.

 

The notion of Utah having MMJ is comedic.
