Utah legislators voted to change the Utah Medical Cannabis Act, the bill that officials, Prop 2 opponents and medical marijuana advocates crafted and pitched as a compromise, Monday, Dec. 2, 2018, during a special session. Lawmakers voted for an overwritten version of the ballot initiative. Now, the Utah Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a legal challenge brought by voters who objected to the replacement legislation.
