March 22, 2014March 21, 2014 by Anthony Martinelli

Utah Governor Gary Herbert has signed House Bill 105, a measure to legalize medical cannabis extracts.

“Cannabis oils show promise of offering some relief to Utahns suffering from seizures and epilepsy and we should do all we can to help them”, the governor said in a statement released yesterday.

Once the proposal takes effect (July 1st), House Bill 105 will allow those in the state who receive a recommendation from a neurologist to legally possess and use cannabis extract that’s low in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and high in CBD (cannabidiol). First they must receive a waiver from Utah’s Department of Health.

Utah’s House of Representatives gave final approval today to House Bill 105, a measure to legalize medical cannabis extracts. The proposal has already been approved through the state’s Senate with a unanimous vote; it now heads to Governor Gary Herbert, who’s in support of the measure.

If approved into law, House Bill 105 would allow those in the state who receive a recommendation from a neurologist to legally possess and use cannabis extract that’s low in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), if they receive a waiver from Utah’s Department of Health.
