Licensed MMJ users permitted in Utah!

[WalkaboutTed]

I just read the 187 page second draft bill.  MMJ users from out of state will have an affirmative defense against arrest, search and seizure as long as you have a card and stay within the Utah possession parameters, i.e., 4 oz or the equivalent.  

It used to be that if you had a measurable metabolite in your blood, even if the last toke was weeks ago. you could be arrested for possession. Now, you pretty much need to be an impaired jerk.

I had been avoiding Utah for that reason. But my summer plans have changed.  Now, if mmj was legal in National Parks, that would be even better. But, generally, most park rangers have better things to do than scouting out mmj users.

Oh, but you can't smoke it in Utah! Alternative delivery methods only.

Just be aware the few locals in remote Utah tend to not put up with behavior they don't approve of and won't stop you from getting high and walking off a ledge as several have done.

I've got old woman with a cane with friendly smile privilege. Walking off a ledge? Nah, I'm discreet and will just listen to music quietly and get the munchies...

My guess is that they would be watching me exercise my 2nd amendment rights way before I'd be anywhere near a ledge. Just sayin'

I'm not a MMJ user. That's a database I want no part of. Also, here in Florida I have a high risk job and carry protection. The combination of MMJ and a weapon could be a  buzzkill, as in jail or even prison. I don't mix the two. Once you're in the MMJ database you can't legally buy a gun although that's not an issue for me.
Once I (finally) get out west I can buy recreational weed legally should I choose to but along with many thousands of others I would be taking a big chance..
