Durbin Continues To Stop Cities From Blocking Cannabis Medicine

12/16/2018

Comments

  Attorney Ron Durbin announced a significant development for Cannabis medicine patients and their caregivers. He reports that the City of Grove, OK is relenting on their former intent to clamp down on the rights of patients to get and keep their medicines in the city.
  "Proud to announce that the letter Durbin Law Firm sent to the City of Grove and all of the follow ups have paid off. I’ve just reviewed the new ordinances they are adopting on the 18th, and they are completely backing off their former restrictive ordinances. Another ✔️ in the win column for medical cannabis patients and businesses in small town Oklahoma and another victory for Durbin Law Firm. Working on Hugo right now in southern Oklahoma. That letter is posted on this page for you to use if fighting a city." - Jeff Durbin
 This issue became serious for medical patients late last summer when the Grand Lake News reported some details from a meeting of the Grove City Council.
  The voters of the county were almost evenly split about SQ788. Supporters of cannabis medicine patient rights fell just short, garnering 49.45% of the 9350 votes cast.  We have no way of knowing how many were too ill to get to the polls?

Here's a snippet from GrandLakeNews, from last September. We recommend reading their full coverage, to get the fullest information on the local issue.

Medical Marijuana
Smoking marijuana is prohibited on all city property, Keefer said.
The newly passed state law prohibits the city from discriminating again an employee who holds a marijuana license.
A growing facility for personal medical use will be allowed only on a personal residence.
The proposed ordinance also prohibits medical marijuana in city vehicles, building, parks and other facilities and the penalty for breaking the ordinance is a $500 fine.
The city will charge $600 as a Medical Marijuana license fee per year. Individuals running a Medical Marijuana Growth Facility for personal use must obtain a registration permit for $5.
“Felons cannot get a license,” Keefer said.
Medical Marijuana Dispensaries are only allowed within a C-3 Commercial and Commercial Recreation Zoned District and prohibited within 1,000 feet of a school, library, child care center, church, public park, playground, city pool, half-way house, correctional facility or substance abuse rehabilitation or treatment center.
No standalone dispensaries are allowed, and dispensaries also prohibited from being close to another marijuana dispensary, said Debbie Bottoroff, assistant city manager, after the meeting.
A Medical Marijuana Grower and Processor are prohibited from locating within in the city limits and a building used to store marijuana must be equipped with a ventilation or air filtration systems so that no odors are detectable off premises.
The dispensary will be closed on Sundays, New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 This led to the Durbin Law Firm sending the letter below. It's a very important document for any concerned citizen to become familiar with. 
  SoonerPolitics hopes to soon publish a broader report of what the Durbin Law Firm has been doing for the last 6 months, to secure the patient protections that the entire state's voters have expressed support for.

While Grove lists a population count of 6623 (a winter census count), the summer population swells much higher. The surrounding Grand Lake shoreline serves as the summer home for many thousands.

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
