Utah Supreme Court throws out challenge to legislation that replaced medical cannabis ballot initiative

The Utah Supreme Court has thrown out a citizen group's challenge to the legislature's bill replacing Proposition 2, the state's voter-approved medical cannabis law.

“The charade is over. Utah’s supreme court has confirmed that the initiative process, the last resort citizens thought they could use to resist the network of corruption infesting every branch of government, was an illusory fraud all along," said Daniel Newby a petitioner connected to the citizen's group The People's Right. The group had argued the legislature unconstitutionally rode over the voters' will by replacing the medical cannabis law that prevailed in the 2018 election.
