Oklahoma Voters Reject 'Recreational' Marijuana

Last week, Oklahoma voters defeated an attempt to legalize marijuana for “adult” recreational use. Five years ago, Oklahomans voted up “medical” marijuana, requiring no specifics on which medical conditions are appropriate for such “treatment,” but now have drawn the line— a line crossed by 21 other U.S. states.

The Oklahoma vote was a decisive 62 to 38 percent. Oklahoma has licensed 2,900 medical dispensaries and almost 8,000 farms over the past five years, for “medical” pot. Two thousand of those farms are under investigation for fraud or diverting supply to the illicit Oklahoma trade, which supplies the largest amount of black-market pot to the East Coast.

The only U.S. states that have not engaged in the legalization of mind- and culture-destroying marijuana are Nebraska, Kansas, and Idaho. The rest have at least legalized the sale of CBD products and/or “medical” applications, and 21 have legalized recreational use by adults.
