SQ806 Calls For End of Marijuana Prohibition

12/16/2019

Comments

 
 Vanessa Avery & Amy Young have filed a petition to end the decades-long prohibition on the adult possession of Cannabis plants (marijuana).  They filed their initiative petition with the Secretary of State's office, today.
  In a cursory review of the language, I see some ambiguities that I wish were spelled out more clearly.  There will be far more scrutiny in the days & months to come.
  The petition will require upwards of 200,000 qualified electors' signatures, in order to advance to an upcoming statewide election ballot. It would create another constitutional amendment. Our state's constitution has about 160 amendments in the 112 years of existence. 
  I'm not convinced that enough eyes have reviewed this document before filing it. Had more advisors been in the process, they may have caught some simple and repeated errors from the last petition we voted on.

Medical Marijuana Dispensaries In Sales Slump

12/13/2019

Comments

 
  In the past 3 months the medical marijuana dispensaries have undergone significant market changes. Just 3 months ago, there were 25% more retail dispensary licenses than there currently are. 
  November Sales have also dropped by nearly 10% from the previous month.  The average licensed patient was spending 20% more, last August, than they did in November. The patient licensing continues to grow.
  Perhaps the drop in active dispensary licenses reflects those speculators who grabbed up a license a year earlier, but never followed through on setting up shop? Certainly there are several dispensaries who either failed economically, or sold their operations to another proprietor?
  Another factor could be the home growing patients? The optimal harvest came in last month. For those who can grow, and succeed in the horticultural arts, there is an annual cost savings of perhaps several thousand dollars.
  Another concern is the employers who are now emboldened to assert their medical preferences upon the employees. Several employees are facing termination for desk jobs because the employer accessed medical records or imposed drug testing.

 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.​
