Ok County down to under 51% yes
Ok County down to under 51% yes
Sadly, I agree, that signature count debacle was just disgusting. Rs are setting themselves up in so many states and so many offices and fixing courts and boards with the "right" appointees to keep themselves in power no matter what, this kind of thing ("master class" type of thing) is just going to keep happening and most likely getting worse.
The Bible Belt is not ready for recreational marijuana, plain and simple. That's why it failed in Arkansas. That's why it failed in Oklahoma. That's why federal legalization is at least 20 years away. Oklahoma is incredibly lucky to have SQ788. I remember when it passed and there wasn't strong religious organization against it like there was for 820. It was basically "snuck in" under the eyes of the preachers. I think the fact it happened during the Trump era also helped it pass. The Baptists were less politically engaged during that time. However, the results of tonight's vote may give the holy rollers a green light on gutting the existing medical program, something they've wanted to do since it passed. The next 20 years of cannabis reform is going to have to be focused on keeping it legal where it's already legal and opposing federal attempts to crack down. Once the Jerry Falwell generation passes, I think recreational weed nationwide will become more viable. Like it or not, that is not now.
Uneducated idiot cop - “I know that marijuana does nothing but lead to other drugs.”
I (and at least a dozen people I know) have smoked marijuana for decades and *none* of us have ever gone on to any other drugs. Yes, some people with addiction problems might go on to other drugs, but I can pretty much guarantee you that there's a *huge* amount of responsible, job-holding, tax-paying, contributing citizens that smoke weed. F-ing Reefer Madness propaganda still lives...
Oklahoma county flipped to a NO as well that is every county in the state against .. LOL
North and South Dakota also voted down recreational last November. Missouri and Maryland are the two latest states to pass it. 21 states have medical/recreational and 15 (including OK) have medical only; it’s still illegal in 14 states . Of the surrounding states CO, NM and MO have recreational, AR has medical and KS and TX have neither.
820 officially failed in every single county
Tomorrow will be the same as always. You will drive by dozens of professional medical establishments like Capital Dank, Puff the dragon, dazed on route 66, happy route 420. The employees and owner of Green doctor will be happy as they actually have doctor in their name.
