As someone who lives in Oregon, a state that not only legalized it, but decriminalized all drugs, let me tell you friends, you made the right choice. The step of legalizing weed resulted in rampant use, a total lack of being able to enforce its use or trade illegally, and did nothing to curb illegal crops growing in remote areas. We fell for the whole sales pitch that tax money would go into coffers for addiction treatment and to fight illegal use, but the state is far, FAR worse off now. People were supposed to only use it at home, but many do in the street, driving, almost everywhere. And a black market still exists, because it’s cheaper (no license to get, no taxes to pay), and the police won’t stop them.
Medical use, yes. Recreational? No. At least not without a rock solid plan in place.
Keep in mind, most folks in OK would consider me to be an old-school liberal. I voted for Joe Biden. Voted twice for Obama.
Glad I don’t live there. It’s already legal in VA
Closer than I expected the vote to be for such a conservative state. But take the vote again in 15 years, after many of the older crowd has died off, and I think it could pass.
Funny, I don’t remember the black market ID’ing minors before they sell to them?! 😂
Corruption. All drug laws were created to generate revenue, its evil, the United states government is abusing the authority given to its employees by the people, don’t be stupid, don’t be a sheep.
They reminds me of Flanders wife " can somebody please think of the children! "
I mean, anyone can get a med card. Here just takes 150$ and 2 weeks.
I live in michighan it’s recreational here a ounce of 25%-30% thc weed is 40$ ounce it’s harder for minors to get weed then alcohol because the way the dispensary’s cards people and there no black market street dealers the local high weed dealer dosent even exist up here and I know that because I’m 21 and my girlfriends in her last year of school at 19 it’s been recreational since 2019 non of the shit that people said was going to happen happened and everything fine good didn’t reduce the state to ash 😂
Let cannabis be free. Free to grow. Amazing plant for health.
I am glad this is over and we need to focus on SERIOUS issues in Oklahoma instead of trying to support potheads and their addiction. This was silly to add to a ballot anyway. Lets move on Oklahoma. If the the potheads can’t stand the decision – move somewhere else! I am so sick of all these drug people! Also, find and shut down those producing for the sell on the black market! When we try to put revenue above sensible thinking – we are going to cause serious problems for this state. Go get them DEA, lets prosecute them and give some big sentences!
I want to go smoke in oaklahoma I’ll bring some of that good sticky Cali Og 🔥🤘
I am in tears that I am *SO HAPPY! GO OKLAHOMA* Oklahoma does NOT need recreational marijuana! This is just a bad decision that will bring bad news to our state. We cannot put revenue over safety and other serious concerns! We have a bunch of potheads, and other drug dependent individuals, just dying to make this legal. Find something else to do than try to legalize drugs. Can’t you do something else to be more productive in society instead of trying to legalize pot??? The woman that was speaking about "it is only a matter of time – just when" sounded like she was smoking pot before she came up to the podium!
It’s the only the crop they’ll be able to grow after the oil dries up and the forest fire season gets too rough. Why ingore progress
The children, the children, same bs they roll out every time , guess it works so why not
That’s smart. You don’t want to turn into an Oregon or Illinois.
I see one fact everyone that’s against it is ancient
WOW 😲 smfh
it’s a flower you dumb hillbillies also F@ck jesus hail SAtAN
legalizing cannabis will not create more crime, or mental illness…
the fact is if its "legal" its not criminally profitable.
this is the same old song and dance propaganda…
the fact is christians like myself, have been using cannabis for over 3000 years worldwide, and cannabis is called a holy chief spice in the bible , and is named over 70 times in the real original hebrew text.
Cbd and Thc saved my wifes life, stops seizures she has , that she got from big pharma drugging at a hospital…
children CAN use CBD for epilepsy safely without getting "high" as well.
THC orally can cure cancer, and has multiple hundreds of times….
funny how these people are still pushing against Gods holy herb, while big pharma literally poisoned us all for the last 75 years , and yet they are not passing legislation to put big pharma in check.
cannabis was demonized and criminalized by lobbyists from the richest most evil people in the world namely big pharma companies, and has only been "illegal" for less than 100 years…
before that cannabis was widely used by all christian nations….
i dont support the "drug culture" just the truth….
cannabis is a miracle medicine…
and to keep it illegal for "recreational use" is unconstitutional, just like banning alcohol is ….
the fact is, according to the law of this country, cannabis is LAWFUL period, whether arbitrary codes are written and passed or not….
its our right to use this PLANT….
Oklahoma sounds stupidly backwoods compared to any other state.
61.81% who are probably hypocrite " Christians " who uses Marijuana after church and also sin in the dark, where no one knows there sining except their God. Marijuana should be legal for those who are responsible and if those 61.81% say no, then they should not use it, why hurt the other 38.19%. We All know those 61.81% percent are ignorant and hypocrites that I’m sure practice other sins besides some percentage might sale and use Marijuana. 38.19% percent should allow to get a special card for use and the other 61.81% percent should not be allowed, if caught but those hypocrites in jail. why make the other’s pay for those who are not against it. Pathetic 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
how would legalization create more crime?
Is it better to have people buying it on the street from criminals? Because, that’s what’s happening now, and will continues to happen. If you’re concerned about the safety of your young people, get pot into a dispensary and your kids will stay out of the hood.
77 counties in Oklahoma..77 counties said hell no ..thank you Oklahoma
First of all God hates Oklahoma and the people living there. Just look around, look at the places and people. They think they are religious followers. Bullshit
Yeah because we love our alcohol
Oklahoma enjoys making most of its money off imprisoning people for long lengths of time in jails where people die once a week. They regulate everything but allow drugs to freely enter their county jails
These people are f*cking retarded and most o he ones who voted no are prolly old af this pisses me off
Keeping the black market strong in oklahoma. At least prices should stay cheap
Oklahoma has dispensaries every few blocks. OK is so full of ignorant, inbred conservatives they can’t even think!
So booze next, right?
They just fear God.
Fuck those dumb cunts
Good ! 👍🏼
Congratulations to Oklahoma for wanting to study the crime snd violence from Mexico to Canada on our West Coast of recreational marijuana. You too can be that stupid, should you choose to accept this assignment, keep voting no.
The first old lady that down played marijuana needs to dry up lol 😆.
Clown state. Absolute morons, Oklahoma. Congrats.
Bible belt my ass…2nd to nevada in the number.of casinos…bars medical marijuana
So went to vote…and I was the youngest person at age 35. I HAD to take a day off of school and work. Everyone I had seen were people who were retired…and had nothing else to do. Younger people are just to busy to get out to vote and there are just to many boomers
GLAD I’m in Missouri where it’s legal and not this dumb Bible worshiper state. No young people will move there now. Once all the old people die there in 10-20 years the state will be way better.
Can’t wait for the State to need more tax revenue and try to vote in some kind of extra tax Dollars. Hell no Oklahoma. You had a goose that laid golden eggs and you killed it. I don’t have a dog in the fight, but it appeared to be a no-brainer for bringing in tax money.
"What about the children?" Everyone knows if you want good cannabis, go to a highschooler. That’s where all the pot is, other than dispensaries. Think, people. Think.
Let California, Oregon and Washington find the acceptable THC level for driving. They don’t even know what impaired is or isn’t and a scaling table of body mass, gender, quantity consumed with an approximation of the effects. Los Angeles just approved for cannabis lounges to start offering small cafe style finger food. Oh, anyway, let the 3 states create laws and go to their respective Supreme Court’s when they are deemed junk science or a 4th or 5th Amendment violation. Sit back and let the dust settle, count all the money you saved on litigation and then have a giant Oklahoma Smoke Out! WOOHOO
Sucks to be them 420🤘
Colorado has made 2 BILLION DOLLARS since Legalization in 2014. They just built a 80,000sqf community center built with 100% collected cannabis tax in my neighborhood. Oklahoma is a poor state filled with methheads and social security collectors.
Strange coincidence that these Midwest red states that are so behind in the cannabis movement, ALSO have the highest military recruitment numbers.
Red states would rather have me dead from a pointless war than let me smoke a bowl of weed for my soul.
Bible thumpers, cops and the chamber of commerce. Bought and paid for by big pharma.
The problem is cops in the south.
So more than half of people in Oklahoma hate freedom. Got it.
Gee and you wonder why no one wants to move or live there.
Sorry anlmal-humpers, keep enjoying your dirt-weed. God I’m lovin’ this premium bud.
