The top prosecutor for Utah’s most populous county says he won’t enforce the federal law that seeks to prohibit cannabis use if voters pass a medical marijuana initiative in November.
Sim Gill said he wants to see what Utahns decide for themselves, adding yet another voice to what is turning out to be a contentious campaign involving prominent players.
Gill’s entrance into the fray on Tuesday follows years of his support of a more liberal state law for marijuana that would allow patients with an approved list of conditions to obtain products from the plant if their doctors believe it will help them.
