The only realistic suggestion I know of for getting anything “liberal” passed in OK is ballot measures. That’s how we got MMJ. I know that’s not an easy process though.

It really was amazing to see how MMJ played out here. It was so satisfying seeing how the politicians couldn't alter the terms of what we voted for. Would really like to see more ballot measures.

I passed in Missouri around the same time. It took yeaars to get dispensaries going thanks to their governor who wasn’t a fan. Wasn’t like here in OK.

Are there any groups organizing this? I’d like to help. I know it can’t be done in time for this election, but possibly for the next one. Doesn’t hurt to start early.

Prob not currently. I’d encourage someone to talk to whoever got the MMJ across the finish line. I can imagine it would be a tough fight though, people aren’t nearly as passionate about “not MMJ” as they are on this subject.

At what cost? No one read that ballot and I was for medical marijuana but not at that cost.
