 Oklahoma has one of the most popular medical marijuana programs in the country, with a full ten percent of the state residents holding a valid medical authorization card.
With that programs popularity, it’s natural that full adult use recreational cannabis legalization be next. A series of issues and lawsuits have caused concerns that the measure won’t make it to the ballot this November. But in a positive move on Friday, the Oklahoma Supreme Court shot down two out of four legal challenges against a marijuana legalization initiative. Michelle Tilley, who is the campaign director for the group behind the legalization measure called Oklahomans for Sensible Marijuana Laws, said, “We have always felt confident that the Court would throw out any frivolous challenges quickly, and today they have done that … We are thankful the Court has acted with expediency.” The Court is currently reviewing the other two challenges, which are both related to the language of the ballot title. The court will make a final ruling this week on whether the legalization measure can go before voters on this November’s ballot. Comments are closed.
