Utahn is competing on ‘The Marijuana Show’ — and, yes, she backs the initiative

It’s probably not a surprise that the Utahn competing on the new season of “The Marijuana Show” supports the ballot initiative that would legalize medical marijuana.

“I cannot tell you how excited I am,” said Heather Lawrence, co-founder of Restored Balance. She said her brother, who has multiple sclerosis, left Utah “to use cannabis in Las Vegas to improve his quality of life.”

“He had to move away from his family. And you hear stories like that all the time. We are splitting up families. It just makes me sick.”

It may, however, surprise you to learn that the Kaysville woman on Amazon Prime’s “Marijuana Show” doesn’t actually deal with marijuana.
