Paxton Seeks To Nullify Much of Medical Marijuana Access Law

2/25/2019

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

"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.

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.
