If you have any questions, seek enlightenment from the CUB itself.
In a major development, starting July 8, 2023, the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF) will take charge of managing medical cannabis pharmacies. Don’t worry, dear patients and providers, as nothing will change for you. The reliable EVS remains your faithful companion for managing recommendations. Pharmacists, you’re safe too. DHHS will continue overseeing your registration and education. However, medical cannabis pharmacy agents will now find solace in the warm embrace of UDAF for compliance visits and registration queries.
Last but certainly not least, let’s applaud the Cannabis Research Review Board (CRRB). These brilliant minds review cannabis research and provide valuable recommendations to the Utah Legislature and the DHHS Center for Medical Cannabis.
