Keith Stroup, founder of NORML, thinks the petition won't get enough signatures, due to the sponsor not getting well enough organized or did enough fund raising before hand. However, maybe there are enough educated and compassionate Oklahomans on the subject, who can prove him wrong. Nevertheless, it's remarkable that a state as highly conservative as Oklahoma has some activists willing to do such a campaign.

If medical marijuana gets legalized in Oklahoma, that would be BIG. But I think it would take several years before it ever gets legalized, same goes for us Texans.

It would be funny if we got to vote on medical marijuana before we got to vote on wine in grocery stores.

Legalizing pot will be very profitable for the state. Money talks.

An online friend of many years uses medical marijuana and says it helps her situation, but now, she really doesn't care one way or another.

It isn't the potheads who would benefit from medical marijuana. If I ever had to have chemo for cancer and endure the horrible nausea, I would be willing to try marijuana. Sometimes I have nausea caused by other something else and it is not good. People who are rabidly against it need to educate themselves about the benefits it offers those who suffer.

Was that what your grandpa and grandma was saying about alcohol during the 1950s, including on the day to vote to legalize it in Oklahoma in 1959? Then maybe your parents were saying during the 1990s that legalizing lotteries and casinos would never happen in a good Christian state like Oklahoma. But all those things got legalized over the objection of leading Republicans and church leaders.

Many Republicans voted for lotteries and casinos.... also liquor by the drink. My parents were Democrats and voted against all of it.
