Utah's Republican Gov. Gary Herbert has already approved the law and held a signing ceremony for about 50 parents and children at the state Capitol on Tuesday afternoon. The new law doesn't allow medical marijuana production in Utah but allows families meeting certain restrictions to obtain the extract from other states. Similar legislation is pending in at least one other state. The marijuana extract, which some believe helps with a severe form of epilepsy, is produced in Colorado and is designed not to produce a high. - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
