SALT LAKE CITY â In the parking lot of Dragonfly Wellness, a DJ played music as people picked up pamphlets at booths and celebrated 4/20.
While some celebrate the unofficial holiday dedicated to all things marijuana, others revel in a hard-fought political battle to get medicine. Utah s medical cannabis program is growing, but advocates worry a lot of patients are still being left behind. If we go back to March 2 [2020], the day the medical cannabis program opened? There were 17 medical cannabis patients in the state of Utah that could legally access, said Narith Panh with Dragonfly Wellness, a medical cannabis pharmacy in downtown Salt Lake City. Now? We have almost 26,000 patients and that number is growing. We expect by the end of the year at least 50,000 medical cannabis patients to be in the program.
