"The cannabis took the edge off of the pain but also allowed me to feel," she said in an interview with FOX 13 News."And after being on opioids for a long time, you’re just kind of numb."
Larsen said she notices a difference in cost, quality and variety of products in cannabis outside Utah. She is not alone. Patient advocacy groups tell FOX 13 News they regularly hear from patients who are still venturing outside the state or returning to the black market to keep costs down or get products they prefer.
The Utah Department of Health & Human Services, which manages one aspect of the state-run program, is aware that some patients are dropping off. In data provided to FOX 13 News, the agency reported a 60% retention rate for medical cannabis card-holders. Oborn said Utah-produced cannabis products are safe, tested and have gone through more vetting than black-market. The pharmacies also must have a pharmacist on staff to help patients based on their illness and treatment options.
Senate Majority Leader Evan Vickers, R-Cedar City, who runs cannabis legislation for the Republican supermajority in the legislature, said cost is something he is aware of.
Real medical program. There I fixed it for you.
People are opting out of the card too because it can also be used against them with their employment. No patient privacy or patient protection. Just another way to discriminate against those that require treatment.
People are opting out bc Utah makes it so fookin hard to get it. All clown games played by state and church to protect its sheeple
Medicinally legalizing cannabis only helps when you actually make it accessible. If you aren’t making it competitive with the underground market then it won’t be, simple. It’s time to recreationally legalize marijuana and EndTheDrugWar
