Medical Marijuana Officially Legal in Utah

Hey Jason thank you so much for these great, informative and factual podcasts. I am a U alumni graduated 2019 in Poli Sci. I am grateful for my experience I also had as an Intern with the Utah Dept of Health for 2 semesters in 2018 and my last semester to be in the Hinckley Forum Series class. Just wanted you to know I appreciate all of you. I hope all my Ute Fans listen to this. And Jason with the special session and the 11 million dollars that was just allocated to mental health community treatment with the Govs support. We as mental health advocates fear all of our work may be lost if that money is taken back to use elsewhere. I also want people to know that with out that access to community treatment funds the economy will worsen. So if members of the legislature see this please remember it is more expensive to lock people up in psych units, jails and prisons than to help them stay out with peer support help. God Speed and Stay Safe

Thank you for remaining non partisan.

This is the best podcast to stay up to date in local and national politics and their impact on the citizens of Utah. I love the different panelists on the podcast. They are all very knowledgeable, they have different backgrounds, and even varying political leanings. This leads to interesting and often enlightening discussions. Thank you Hinckley Report!
