Marijuana, Give them an inch...

$40,000,000 in licensure fees alone for users in the first year of so-called 'medical' legalization. You can bet the state isn't going to want to give that money up no-way, no-how.

Would need about $300M in ADDITIONAL marijuana sales to make up that shortfall, at 15% tax rate.

I just don't see the state .gov getting behind the effort in the least.

LMAO...so short sited.
But thats how you roll

Recreational isn’t going to pass. Oklahoma isn’t ready for it.

Wanna bet? When it makes it to the ballot, it will be a landslide.
They need a little under 200k signatures.
There are well over 200k people with a medical card to sign plus another 100k people to boot. It will get the signatures in 30 days. Then a landslide vote, probably 75%

If you’re against recreational you’re probably in the majority. I don’t think even the marijuana industry in Oklahoma is ready for a constitutional amendment. It’s too early in the process. We haven’t got the medical marijuana processes fully worked out yet.

There doesnt need to be near the process and over-reach, thats the point. People just want the Gov. out of the pockets and homes.
Much like any 2A movements.
No, exactly the same.

Pot cures jock rash.

Sure wish that you'd have posted this a lot sooner........take my word for it, Clorox bleach burns like a SOB.

 

[dlbleak]

You sound like you have done some research, care to show me those numbers?
MMMkay then

Just going from my own experiences. I have a couple college friends that are using every day. Neither one has a card. One gets it from a coworker and the other gets it from his daughter.

I’m surprised by people saying “tax the hell out of it.” I thought we were generally a group of people who believed in lowering taxes? Are we really just like the democrats who want to heavily tax an industry we don’t like? Plenty of people on this forum would cry government overstep if additional taxes were levied on firearms or ammo in this state. Am I the only one seeing a double standard?

Shouldnt surprise anyone. Hypocrisy is alive and well everywhere.

Where is Clay on this thread ?.........

It should be legal, over 21 just like booze.... medical should be no-tax with a card.

It is being sold now untaxed. Sold from homes, cars, people on the corners....this way it is more controlled, sold in store fronts, taxed, workers now on payroll. More stable business for supporting business,...growing supplies, etc.

I'm here lol. what can I do for ya?

I'm curious as to how the petition signing will go. Last time they fell short, but not by a whole lot. I was truly surprised by how many people I know that said "Heck, if I'd known they were going to fall short I'd have went down and signed. Looked they would have enough so I didn't bother". I'm a conservative and where I work I'm surrounded by conservatives. Most of my family is, too. I never realized so many people I know (life-long conservatives) wouldn't mind seeing it legal for recreational use. Some want to use it themselves, some for other peoples freedom of choice in such matters and some for tax revenue. Not saying I'm convinced it will, but I won't be one bit surprised if it gets on the ballot and passes.

175k signatures needed (or there abouts) and over 200k cards issued. They all will sign it and several more as well. Probably double what they need in half the time. It will pass.
