Utah’s medical marijuana campaign kicks off with a ‘tailwind of support’

Midvale • Red and white lawn signs promoting Proposition 2 bent with every gust of wind, but they didn’t break or blow away.

Organizers of Utah’s medical marijuana initiative — which on Saturday officially kicked-off their campaign — consider that a good omen.

“We think we’ve got a good tailwind of support behind us," said DJ Schanz, with the Utah Patient Coalition that organized the event at at the Overstock.com headquarters here. The all-ages event, which included, music, food trucks and bounce houses, attracted hundreds of supporters who picked up T-shirts and lawn signs to distribute in advance of the November election.
