[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2901519, member: 5151"] That issue was brought up to organizers as a reason that I would not sign the petition, responded to with "but we have a line in there stating that a MMJ card can't be used as a preclusion", and with any mention of the requirement of OSBI to enforce federal law in the SDA ignored. The provision that references persons prohibited under United States Code would have to be removed. One sentence - that's it. Then it would be up to the feds to enforce their own prohibited persons law, but they are prohibited from using government funds to enforce federal laws that conflict with state and local marijuana laws under the omnibus bill that was passed in December 2014. I also have other issues with the way the petition was done, but mostly the following two: 1) Fails to remove the current $3.50/gram tax. When asked about that oversight, the only replies I've ever received has been "marijuana isn't legal right now, so Oklahoma can't have a tax on it right now". 2) It's an initiative statute. If you're going to spend the money to circulate a petition and campaign for the vote, why take a route that the legislature can overturn within a month of the start of the session, especially given our current legislative and executive branch?
