Medical Marijuana Initiative in Utah Has Enough Valid Signatures, but Opponents Sue to Block it from Ballot Based on its Content

A few days ago, it became known that a Utah initiative to legalize medical marijuana had enough valid signatures. It is very difficult to get a statewide initiative on the Utah ballot. Then, opponents of the measure sued in state court to have it blocked from the ballot because of the content of the initiative. The lawsuit says Utah cannot legalize medical marijuana because of federal law. See this story. The case is Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Utah v Cox, 3rd judicial district.

  1. The First PacificNW Super-state Parliament (ss12) has been a successful test for pure proportional representation (PPP) and that brings unity to the state of Utah and all geographic levels.

    The United Coalition is looking at our own team in 2018, we need to do a better job and find more good names to award higher responsibilities for good teamwork, and the First PacificNW Super-State Parliament Election if 2018 is a key component of our plans in 2018.

  2. That hasn’t stopped dozens of states from passing medical or even recreational marijuana. Any court that looks into the facts on the ground will probably rule in favor of putting the initiative on the ballot. Hopefully.

  3. Idiotic lawsuit considering that a bunch of other states have already done it, and considering that the US Constitution does not authorize the federal government to ban or regulate any drugs.

  4. SCOTUS has perverted the inter-state commerce clause in 1-8 since 1936 —

    everything *affects* inter-state commerce.
