Noted Cannabis Advocate Exposes Dispensaries Selling Black Market Medicine

12/28/2018

Comments

 
Picture
  Muskogee based cannabis advocate, Chris Moe, unloaded a 'bombshell' list of gross violations by licensed Cannabis Medicine businesses. He listed multiple assertions that California-grown cannabis is being shipped to company associates who relocated to Oklahoma & attained Medical Marijuana Business licenses.

 Then California producers shipped 100 lb. lots to their Oklahoma subsidiaries who either sold to other Oklahoma dispensaries, or sold directly to licensed patients.

Moe (known affectionately to fellow activists as 'Uncle Grumpy') withheld from naming any specific businesses. What Moe and many others are concerned about is some greedy entities who are foreign to Oklahoma, are willing to destroy our medical patients' opportunity for wellness, so that they can make quick money. 

​  Moe also tells a narrative where some licensed growers never planted a crop, yet are shipping hundreds of pounds to dispensaries.

Wholesale Oklahoma Cannabis Prices Top $250/oz.

12/28/2018

Comments

 
  With the initial crops of legal cannabis now harvested & cured, the commodity trading boards are firing up with activity among the licensed medical marijuana businesses.  Prices are looking very high, from the initial indicators.
  The Oklahoma Cannabis Market is the first such online & transparent trading board being utilized to bring these crops to the  processors and medical dispensaries. Their first trade is an 8 oz.  hybrid strain (Skunk#1) with a tested THC of 19 and a CBD of 8. The crop is from an established hydroponics greenhouse establishment which has been growing vegetables for several years.
  Retail prices could go as high as $500 per ounce, or more,  Plus a tax total of $75, given that the Oklahoma Tax Commission is deciding to ignore the 7% cap that SQ788  mandated.
  But buying cannabis from a 'black market' source is especially tempting, for a desperate patient. The current price of consumer-reported purchases is around $350 per ounce, for medium to high quality cannabis. Here is a sample of the more recent sales posted at PriceofWeed.com.
Unless these numbers change significantly, many patients will face the pragmatic & practical appeal of buying 'off the grid'.

The State Board of Health Is A Danger To Oklahomans

12/28/2018

  If there's a form of stupidity which sensible people should be especially outraged by, it's the smugness and arrogance of idiots who assume they know more than everyone else, and feel entitled... no, MANDATED, to control the behavior of everyone else.
  I'm speaking about the State Board of Health. 
  On July 10th they gathered to presumptively save Oklahomans from one of the safer drugs mankind has every discovered. The inhaled Cannabis vapors.
   Mind you, these 'best & brightest' physicians, educators, and hospital administrators have collectively less education on the cannabinoid system of receptors and the healing arts of integrating cannabinoids in healthcare.
  So they did what simpletons habitually do. They banned anything they don't understand.  They convinced an even more simpleton governor to adopt their prohibition on any smoke-able of vape-able forms of medical marijuana.  They even banned dispensaries from marketing the raw cannabis flower forms to the licensed patients(consumers).
Here's why their ignorance is deadly, and there are dead Oklahomans who serve to  make my point...

Commodity Trading Board Goes Live, For Oklahoma Cannabis

12/26/2018

Comments

 
Picture
  With the posting of a half pound lot of 'Skunk#1" Indica/Sativa hybrid, the Oklahoma Cannabis Market is live and trading commodities from the growers and processors of Oklahoma.   Ben Neal, of Sage Farms is the first farmer to bring his cured & lab tested produce to the auction block
   A few weeks ago Mr. Neal invited the publisher of Sooner Politics to his rural facility to see the technology he's bringing to the medical cannabis industry. But what surprised David Van Risseghem most was the trading platform which Neal is a developer of.
   Neal is an educated former aerospace manufacturing leader who decided several years ago to make a career change. He traded in his button down shirts & ties for work gloves and boots. He started a hydroponics vegetable farm & soon thereafter he developed a marketing & distribution model for getting himself & fellow farmers a stable demand and price for what they produce.
  OkCannabisMarket.com is as simple to sell from as an ebay account. Buyers & sellers must all have current MMB licenses in order to take part.  But the process is completely transparent to the public. This should help give everyone a sense of market trends. 

​
                            Here >>>>>>>>>>>>
​is the live feed of the inaugural auction on OKCannabisMarket.com. Registration is free, but is only open to holders of MMB license holders.

Landrush 4.0: Setting Up A Dispensary

12/25/2018

Comments

 

See our list of currently-operational Dispensaries - 

  Enterprising Oklahomans were working passionately and quietly this past fall. Advocates who were loud and circumspect for sound govt. policy, and now buried in the details of old fashioned merchandising. It is the 2018 version of the 1889 event that gave away limited real estate tracts. But this time the prize is market share.
  We're talking about the first season of medical marijuana dispensaries; or as their marketing agents call it: Cannabis Medicines.
  The first step was to secure a business location. People who owned land in a business zone or in rural unzoned areas, had an advantage.   The growers were the most crucial component because until they had a harvest, nothing else mattered.
  But with crops germinating in mid September, it was obvious that optimal harvests would occur in November or December.

The state gave away land. Then they gave tag agencies. then they gave liquor licenses. Now they're giving out dispensary licenses.

The Effort To Outlaw Low Priced Medicines

12/14/2018

Comments

 
by Nigel O'Mally - 
  There are going to be three types of medical marijuana growing operation models, in Oklahoma, but one of them is in danger of being outlawed by state legal action. Sadly, it is the most natural and with the lowest 'overhead' cost.
The home grower patient.
  The patient is currently allowed to have 6 mature plants flowering and producing medicine. If it's done using natural light, then the patient will be limited on strains of cannabis or limited to one annual harvest. Otherwise there is a significant investment needed for special lighting.
  The Indoor commercial grower
  This grower uses artificial lighting controls to trick plants into flowering earlier than might otherwise happen. These growers expect to yield 4 crops per year from the same square foot.  The plants are usually kept smaller and compressed together.
The 'Orchard' grower.
  Cannabis naturally grows all spring & summer, but starts to flower in the fall. Therefor the plants can grow over 10 foot tall, if given ample space to spread out.  The 'orchard' concept allows for one outdoor crop per year. 
  Last July the Oklahoma Health Dept. tried to ban 'orchard' growing. In addition, they sought to add insanely expensive mandates for security systems for all indoor growers.
Picture
Natural Cannabis will grow to as high as 10 feet, and wait until shorter days, before 'flowering' begins. This type of farming cannabis is often called 'orchards'.

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.​
