An outdoor cannabis cultivation facility located in Tooele County has just completed their harvest to supply medical cannabis to qualified patients. The growing facility, which supplies WholesomeCo Cannabis, and represents one of two cannabis production facilities in Utah, opened earlier this year.
Alex Iorg, one of the founders of WholesomeCo Cannabis, was formerly the campaign manager for Utah's medical cannabis ballot initiative, Proposition 2, which allowed the use of medical cannabis by qualified patients. It passed in 2018.
"It's been remarkable to see the full process from the legalization effort, now to almost 90,000 qualified medical cannabis patients," said Iorg, who is a patient himself.
Following the Prop. 2 campaign, Iorg joined a group of medical cannabis professionals and investors to apply for cultivation and distribution licenses in Utah's new medical cannabis program. Iorg's business partner, Chris Jeffery, stepped in as the company's CEO with a goal of a future fully integrated company focused on the cultivation, processing, and delivery of medical cannabis to patients throughout the State of Utah.
