Mormon church backs deal to allow medical marijuana in Utah

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Mormon church joined lawmakers, the governor and advocates to back a deal Thursday that would legalize medical marijuana in conservative Utah after months of fierce debate.

The compromise comes as people prepare to vote in November on a medical marijuana ballot initiative that held its ground despite opposition from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Gov. Gary Herbert said he'll call lawmakers into a special session after the midterm election to pass the compromise into law regardless of how the initiative fares.

If the initiative passes, it will be revised under the terms of the deal. It if fails, the Legislature would consider a law under the new framework.
