Two new bills regarding medical marijuana were proposed to the Utah Legislature Wednesday, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

“We knew what we were getting into and we were good with it,” Haglin said. “But none of us knew what it was going to be like to live our lives after the dust had settled on our military careers.”
This is the second bill pitched to the legislature recommending a regulated medical marijuana market. They have not announced their position on either measure. They will hold another meeting in November to further discuss the issue.
