Seriously, when are politicians going to stop making bullshit, baseless, ridiculous, propagandizing claims like these? It's not going to be BECAUSE they smoke pot, and anyone who claims such is a outright LIAR. If you are in jail, or a youth program for committing a crime, then STOP COMMITTING CRIMES. Using marijuana is a god given right! NOT A CRIME. THE CRIME IS BEING A LYING POLITICIAN. “We have evidence with other prescription medications that are being misused. Even though it would be prescribed for medical purpose, it doesn’t mean that adolescents are others individuals are not going to misuse that substance.” Unlike with those other, taxable, big pharma benefitting, corporate mules, USE does not mean ABUSE. Ignorant conservative JACKASSES. "The state Department of Health shows 36-percent of kids admitted to smoking pot in 2011
Griffin worries that number will grow if the state allows for the medicinal use of marijuana."

This kind of chance rarely comes along, so we need to make sure everybody calls. If we don't take advantage of it this time, it may be forever before we get another chance. It only takes a minute to call and leave a message on his recorder!

The senate should be eager to help the Oklahomans that can benefit from this, not make excuses and dream up reasons why they won't. Failure to act on this and implement the plan that we have created for them would simply tell me that they either don't want to do their job, or they are incapable of doing their job, because it's not like we are asking for them to make it legal for everyone to walk the sidewalks smoking joints. Let's hope they do what's right for Oklahomans, by putting cannabis in the hands of our doctors and out of the hands of the politicians.

If MM were allowed here, the more heavy drugs would not be perscribed and therefore would not be available to be abused. The savings alone should be considered. The savings to the State for prosecutions as well as the savings for Medicare, Medicaid, Insurance Companies as well as a savings for people who are on Assistance that still have to pay 10% for their Medications. I myself am on several pain medications and will be for life. I would prefer to be able to grow my own medication. That way I know that my plants would not have any type of chemicals added. This would also save $6000 a year just in drugs. and with an est. $9600 in income a year I might be able to survive once my Workmans Comp. case has ended. Otherwise it looks like I might go hungry a few years down the line. The reports show a big problem with perscription drug abuse and overdoses in Oklahoma.

I know one thing they would lose a lot of tax money. My husband & I did... and they lost big. I wonder what OK would do if all the marijuana smokers moved to 215 friendly places like CA.

That is the closest time frame I have seen so far. Thanks for asking Senator Crain about when he thought the study may happen. That is the closest time frame I have seen so far.
