They listened to harrowing stories from parents of children with rare diseases and Mormon mothers with cancer who traveled out-of-state for cannabis to ease their symptoms. At the same time, state tax commissioners and law enforcement urged caution before Utah follows Colorado into the medical marijuana business. In the end, the measure failed.

At 12:15 pm. Thursday, Madsen, state Tax Commission Chairman John Valentine and Spanish Fork mother Tenille Farr join Tribune health reporter Kristen Moulton to discuss the prospects for medical marijuana in Utah.
