In opposing medical marijuana, Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera and Utah’s rural sheriffs are warning that “in rural Utah, if you’re 100 miles away from a dispensary, you can grow your own. How do you monitor that?”
First, if Proposition 2 passes, wouldn’t you “monitor” marijuana grown by unauthorized growers in essentially the same way that you currently monitor the growing of marijuana?
Second, are you aware that if dispensaries were placed in just three cities — Salt Lake City, Price and Beaver — 99 percent of Utah’s population would live within 100 miles of a dispensary?
