    Oklahoma Voters To Decide On Marijuana Legalization Ballot Measure

    By Tom Angell
    March 6, 2023

    Oklahoma voters are heading to the polls on Tuesday to decide on a ballot measure that would legalize marijuana for adults.

    In most counties throughout the state, the cannabis measure—State Question 820—is the only thing that voters will see on their ballot—a unique situation in the history of legalization initiatives.

    Advocates tried to put the reform on the November 2022 ballot, but delays in signature verification by officials and the state Supreme Court’s subsequent decision in litigation meant that it missed the window to qualify for that cycle. In October, Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) called a special election for the cannabis measure, now taking place on Tuesday.

    With so many states legalizing Marijuana, why don't the "representatives" work the legalized it federally?

    I was just in OKC and couldn't buy THC products without a medical card. There is no reason that marijuana shouldn't be fully legal.

    legal weed is a bad example for the children and risky roads.

    Weak ass argument that could much better be applied to make the case for alcohol prohibition.... but we all know how well that went.

    A worse example for children is making them think it is ok to lock people in cages for growing a plant like a fascist.

    Roads are less risky with legalized cannabis. You have less drunks - people who drink and smoke herb won't drink as heavily and some will choose not to drink and instead just smoke herb. Plus driving stoned isn't really very risky, some people actually drive better stoned than sober and there are many studies that show this.

    heroin and opium and hash i guess you want legal also, and cocaine, cuz it's a plant.

    anyway. I'm not against marijuana use in some settings. I used to smoke it and still will if I want to. I just don't think it should be legal and encouraged. I believe law enforcement should have the ability to investigate when there is marijuana. I'm for semi-decrim. Btw I know what it's like to get caught with it by cops. More than a few times.

    The medical marijuana system in place works too well. It has been seriously good for creating small businesses. Oklahoma voters usually have just enough sense to know that if it ain't broke, it's wisest not to fix it.

    They don't have those on the federal level. Remember, the feds can go back to enforcing that crap at any moment.

    Remind me why you're on a libertarian forum, again?

    I think they still want to empower DEA and IRS to raid and loot at will. The current federal government is a foreign corporation seated in a sovereign city running a pirate operation, nothing more.

    "We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book

    There's an old SNL skit in there somewhere.

    Anyway. I'm for decriminalization, but bit of advice, if you want to ever sell it to the Right, stick with differentiating between violent/non-violent offenses. It's a far better chance of making a breakthrough than coming out swinging over the virtues of smoking weed.

    What got me completely on board with decriminalizing it was when I was picked for grand jury duty and had to listen to drastically different cases being presented back to back.

    One case we had this repeat-offender rapist running around assaulting local women. (this guy actually had two cases against him in the same hearing)

    The next case was about a guy who was well-known and almost cordial with local PD getting busted with some weed. The officer pitching the case laughs because this guy just admits it whenever he's caught. It's like some song and dance they do. (think Otis the town drunk on the Andy Griffith show).

    Quite clearly one is a scourge on society and needs to be put away. The other is, by comparison, a waste of time.

    But I think you lose the conservatives when you nonchalantly present it as if drugs have no impact on someone's life. They'll never go for that.

    Government has no authority to dictate what people freely chose to consume.
