Lawmakers Call For A Hold On One New Medical Marijuana Law

8/3/2019

Comments

 
  At least Three Oklahoma Lawmakers now say that some changes to a newly enacted law need to be made, lest sickly patients be subjected to a loss of privacy and potential law enforcement problems, particularly if they need to travel for further medical treatment. Rep. Scott Fetgatter & Majority Floor Leader Jon Echols have conducted further consultation with the principal author of SB1030, Sen. Lonnie Paxton. 
  Paxton stated that the intent of his new bill should have given patients added protections from false charges by confirming their legal patient status to law enforcement, if a drug dog indicates that cannabis medicines are present. However, patients and advocates insist that just the opposite may happen, if misapplied.
  As currently written, the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority MUST turnover patient licensing data to the Dept. of Public Safety, for every cop in the nation to get access to (directly or indirectly).
  We received confirmation from both Echols & Fetgatter, that this language will be further addressed.
Picture
Many patients may find themselves in legal trouble that would not have occured, except that law enforcement got pinged when their dashcams read the patient's license plate, or ran their Driver License check.

  So if a cancer patient travels to the Anderson Cancer Institute in Houston, TX, he may end up jailed in Waco; never to get the treatment his life depends on. The data is enough to establish probable cause and result in being detained & subjected to extensive searches, drug tests, and criminal charges. 
  Even in Oklahoma, some may face DUI charges just from having medicine a few weeks earlier, but completely sober, alert, and fully coordinated.
We got some news from a central Oklahoma Cannabis Industry official and healthcare advocate, Darrell Carnes. He dedicates his work to assist sick patients whose medical professionals recommend marijuana treatment for.

(Share Share Share!).. I have spoken with Rep, & Floor Leader Jon Echols As Well as Rep. Scott Fetgatter & It has been said that Sen. Lonnie Paxton is Also in support of the next actions as well... Here is what we know about 1030 it's Implementation & the Actions being Prepared against it... 

"The Industry IS Prepared to Legally Stop this" Should this all be Failed Effort.. We do believe there is Grounds to take action if wrongfully implemented... 

  Both Representatives Agree there is mounting Risk & Privacy Concerns with the Database Set to be Released By the OMMA Neither have Objected & Rep. Fetgatter has said to be actively sharing these concerns with the OMMA & DPS in order to clarify intent..

Rep. Echols went as far as to say "If implemented incorrectly against the intent it WILL be the cause of "Lawsuits" that "We the patients would probably win!"

TO BE CLEAR BOTH.. Representatives have publicly Stated & Taken stance siding with the Industry .... Once again doubling down that actions proposed by the OMMA Newsletter was not the intention of the Law.. But Rather to be An option "IF" Authorized by the patient to AVOID Further harm to the patient in the event of A stop without your patient I.D.

ACTIONS: All three Lawmakers have said they will move to Repeal the statute NEXT SESSION that means up until then our options are to File AN injunction against Implementation..  Or
  1. Do our best to Clarify the Intent... So the AG (Mike Hunter - 405-521-3921) can stop Implementation of A Law that is a Clear Privacy Rights Violation & An effective Targeting tool ....All falling within the realm of Discrimination against cardholders specifically.
  2. Lastly If All Else Fails.. SUE SUE SUE Till heads start spinning & Actions are taken to protect out right to privacy & to not be discriminated against. 

Both Representatives have agreed to Supporting us...by Attending A Meeting with Officials at the OMMA & The DPS together with our Industry Advocates in order to clarify the Intent in A "Round table" like meeting. So we can make sure they know our Concerns & Understand the Laws True Intent with All parties Present.



WHY IS IT BAD ....YOU ASK??

EXAMPLE 1: ( Patient is pulled over for a simple traffic violation for taglight by a Rural "This is My Town, I Am the Law" Police Department that Is still Forcing Reefer Madness & Decides to Run you name) Boom! He sees your A patient & your Taglight Violation probably would have been a Warning for a Non-Patient becomes A DUID Arrest for The MJ Patient Regardless of when you last medicated... 

EXAMPLE 2. (Patient Travels through A BAN STATE & your Oklahoma Tag or Name is Ran & It's Found & your Identified as A Medical MMJ Patient & Now you are Harrassed and Entrapped by Out of State Authorities.) So now that violates your right to travel Roads & Highways Un-Molested without being suspect of committing A crime. ARE THERE PROTECTIONS AGAINST THIS who Gets Access at the end of the day?

EXAMPLE 3. (Cops Get to know Your An MMJ User with NO Reason)... Why not every other prescription Drug people take? Oh wait that requires a Warrant for Blood Test because it's nobodys Business what I have as medicine in my body unless directly related with probable cause related to my offense. ​

    ​"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.​
