Well,  it seems the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana reforms are here to stay. We're on course to more than double the projections of the Oklahoma Dept of Health in the number of licensees for the first year.  Tax collections are now already over $1 million per month, according to Oklahoma Tax Commission reports.
   Despite the prudish rejection of the 'big pharma' sycophants in the medical society and the bigoted disparagements of the prosecution industry; most every neighborhood in the state now has legal medical patients getting improved health and a more tolerable lifestyle, with safe use of cannabis medicines.
  The 57th Oklahoma legislature has to be watching this development with some sense of astonishment. While the state's tax collections are booming, the sociological doomsday predictions are AWOL. 
  We see more bitterness among the entrenched medical society than celebration for the patients who finally got off opiates and found a safer & more effective pain relief.
  We see more pharmacological skepticism about chemotherapy success with the anti-nausea treatment of cannabis, than hope for survival. 
  We see more fear from the prosecutors than relief, that PTSD sufferers have found calmness from their panic attacks and flashbacks.

 On August 8th of 2018, the top officials of the Oklahoma Health Dept. told the legislature that they expected 80,000 total applications in the first year of Medical Marijuana. They further elaborated that 2000 of them would be for commercial businesses (MMBs).  That was then. This is now. ​

​ The projections were made by dept. analyst, Buffy Heater, in the context of agency funding, and if fees would cover the cost of the function. Here's the video of that event.
