Utah Compassionate Use Board (CUB) Petition

Utah's Compassionate Use Board reviews medical cannabis card applications for patients under 21 and for patients who do not have a qualifying condition but may still benefit. The recommending provider who certified the patient submits a petition covering the patient's age, medical history, and treatments tried or in use. The Board will not review an application without both a certification and a petition.

Who completes it

The recommending medical provider who certified the patient completes the whole petition. The patient pays the card fee in EVS, after which the application status changes to Awaiting CUB Review.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Create and submit the petition in EVS after entering the certification; if the certification went through a pharmacy on the paper form, use the REDCap survey link emailed to you after the patient pays.
Who pays
The patient pays the card fee in EVS before the petition moves to Board review.

  • Board meetings are private and confidential, even to the patient's medical provider; the Board is made up of seven medical providers from different specialties.
  • The Center for Medical Cannabis publishes a CUB petition guide, a medical condition guide and a REDCap petition guide for providers.

Frequently asked questions

Who needs a Compassionate Use Board petition in Utah?

Patients younger than 21 and patients without a qualifying condition who would still benefit from medical cannabis. The recommending provider certifies the patient and submits the petition; the Board weighs risks and benefits considering age, medical history, and treatments tried or currently used. Palliative care purchase waivers are a separate process, not a petition.

How long does a Utah CUB decision take?

Decisions are emailed within 90 days of the patient's payment when the petition is filed in EVS, or within 90 days of submission when it is filed through REDCap. If the Board needs more information, it emails the provider and patient with a return date.
