Desiree Hennessy
Discussion Facilitator
Utah's Legal Landscape
& Political Advocacy
You may not know her by name, but if you have a medical cannabis card in Utah, you know her work!
​
Desiree Hennessy and her team at the Utah Patient Coalition have worked tirelessly for years securing Utahn's legal access to plant medicines.
​
In 2023 her efforts brought SB0200 in front of legislation. She is currently on the front lines, lobbying for medical access for psychedelics in 2024.
​
There is no better resource for understanding Utah's current legal landscape and what you can do to help move the needle.
​
Years before cannabis was introduced as a bill in Utah, Desiree, inspired by her son, was advocating for medical cannabis use and out collecting signatures.
​
Through years of developing relationships with our Utah representatives and lobbying groups, she has learned the do's and don'ts of advocating for expanded patient rights.
​
We are excited to have Desiree as a discussion facilitator at the conference on March 6.
