Summary

Ahead of a possible Utah medical marijuana ballot initiative in the Fall of 2018—and in light of the LDS Church signaling its opposition to the initiative—Mormon Stories seeks to have an open, facts-based discussion about the medicinal uses of marijuana and the LDS Church's role in the legislative process to prevent its passage in the state of Utah. To begin that conversation, we continue our interview with Andrew Jolley—an entrepreneur in Nevada who started The+Sourcedispensary in 2013 after Nevada passed legislation allowing the use of medicinal marijuana in that state.

We cover:

*What Andrew learned about the medicinal and societal value of marijuana that lead him to become involved

*A historical discussion about the political and cultural motives to making marijuana illegal

*The economic impacts seen in the states that have chosen to legalize marijuana use

*The medical impacts of the different types of cannabinoids found in marijuana

*Efforts made 'behind the scenes' by the LDS Church to oppose the initiative to allow for medicinal marijuana use

*What Andrew believes Utahns should do to inform their decision on legalization

It's been an amazing ride to talk about their faith, their faith journeys, their mixed faith marriage,

1:10.0

their marriage on the rocks and then how they healed and how they're happier and healthier now than ever.

We are now ready for part four of this interview.

In part four of this interview I think should be its own five hours, but we'll do an hour or so.

1:24.0

It's a really important topic because as I was thinking about this,

1:30.0

I think about there are only a few states I think in the nation of the United States of America

1:36.0

where both medicinal marijuana cannabis use is legalized,

1:41.0

but also recreational cannabis or marijuana use is legal.

1:47.0

So when you think about what families or what couples would be at the forefront

1:53.0

in one of the most progressive states in the country on marijuana and cannabis use,

1:59.0

you wouldn't think it would be a Mormon slash post-warmen couple who would be at the forefront.
