Health Dept Proposes Condensed Set of Medical Cannabis Rules

7/31/2018

Comments

 
 Late Tuesday afternoon the Oklahoma Department of Health(ODH) published a final draft set of emergency rules for the newly enacted medical marijuana laws that the people of Oklahoma passed into law by a historic voter turnout.
  The ODH Board had passed a very predatory set of rules just 3 weeks ago but lawsuits by the citizens forced the Attorney General and Governor to move quickly and rescind those emergency rules.
   Just last Thursday, the Interim Director, Tom Bates; met with proponents of the new law and conceded several points to the working group. When that group heard Director Bates' proposal, they added several more issues where the agency clearly went beyond the authorization and even contradicted the new law in numerous ways.
   To the ODH's credit, they spent the weekend and early this week to remove more than half of the previous rules.

  The staffers at the ODH recommend that some matters be deferred to many other state and local agencies to take oversight roles in areas such as zoning, employment, public safety, taxation, and other matters.
  On Wednesday afternoon the Board of Health will convene an emergency meeting to reconsider their previous resolutions and it's expected they will discuss and vote on the draft published below this article. 
  We'll add the web link to the live webcast of the OBH meeting when it's made available.
​Here's the meeting notice for the OBH Emergency meeting. They will have an 'executive'(closed & confidential) session with the agency's attorneys, to discuss lawsuits arising from last month's violations of law regarding the old set of rules.

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 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.​
