Senator Paxton seeks a 1 year jail sentence for a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy and using cannabis medicine for the severe nausea side effects. If the patient didn't first file all the paperwork, complete a photo session, pay the $100 fee, and then wait two more weeks for the license to save his life.

Today, Senator Paxton is seeking passage of his first legislation to effectively hinder patients from their treatment for severe pain, cancer, and Post-Tramatic Stress, among other ailments.
SB1030 is full of language to increase the costs, limit where treatment can be administered, and what the criminal sentencing will be, for disobeying his edicts. The Senate Health & Human Services committee will be taking action on HB1030, in their afternoon meeting. Senator Paxton cannot cite actual community harms from the current availability that patients finally acquired. He's campaign to defeat SQ788 appears to rely almost exclusively on fears that the Federal govt. created with their Reefer Madness propaganda of the 1950s. That broadly debunked media ploy has done great harm to the essential trust of government, for many citizens. Especially those citizens who are now fighting for their very lives and winning, because of the cannabis medicines which the people of Oklahoma demanded. The Committee convenes after the 1:30pm senate floor session. The members voting are Senator Jason Smalley - Chair, Senator Greg McCortney - Vice Chair, Senator Bill Coleman, Senator Julie Daniels, Senator Carri Hicks, Senator Allison Ikley-Freeman, Senator Adam Pugh, Senator Paul Rosino, Senator Paul Scott, Senator Joseph Silk, Senator Frank Simpson, Senator Rob Standridge, Senator George Young |
