A million dollar Reefer Madness media ad campaign could not stop support for Medical Marijuana from the heart of the grass roots level in Oklahoma. It's believed this is the first victorious marijuana voter initiative that was accomplished with little, if any, funding from outside Oklahoma. During the petition stage of the campaign, a funding request made to the Marijuana Policy Project was denied.

Wow. Nicely done, Oklahoma!

Hopefully this will help many people with conditions whose symptoms can be alleviated with medical marijuana.

Stunned. Just goes to show how much bipartisan support this has among the public. Now, if only Congress would start voting their public's interests rather than big pharma's....

Wait until they get a taste of that delicious marijuana tax revenue. Washington state got $319 million last year and it's used for schools and drug treatment.

Oklahoma already has a petition out to vote on placing legalized rec marijuana in the state constitution, so legislators can't gut it. What will really be a stunner is if petition organizers can get the required 124,000 signatures by August 8th, since the group, Green the Vote, has no money to pay signature takers. It has another petition to put legal medical marijuana in the state constitution. It would work as a backup in case Oklahoma legislators gut the medical marijuana proposal that won Tues. night. They can gut it since it's only statute.

I did not expect to see Oklahomans legalize marijuana in any form before all of the other states had done so.
