SALT LAKE CITY Legislators are again eyeing changes to Utah’s medical marijuana law, including enabling any doctor to recommend the medication to up to 15 patients.
“The concept there is twofold. One on the patient’s side: It would allow the patient to stay closer to home, maybe with their own physician . and the physician, if they don’t feel they have the expertise to do the dosing guidelines, they can work with the pharmacist and the cannabis pharmacy,” said Sen. Evan Vickers, R-Cedar City.
The move could address one of the biggest bottlenecks so far with the program, according to advocates.
