Report: Medical Marijuana Day

Many thanks to all the fine people who turned out to the State Capitol to personally lobby their legislators to legalize Medical Marijuana for Oklahoma. Newspaper story here. As a result, we found that there is, indeed, support among a number of state legislators for legalizing medical marijuana while a number of them hold no position, or are against it. So the job is not over. Please continue to show your support and help us find new support for this cause. It's time to put aside politics before patients and get on the side of 21st century findings in medical science.

Reports we were at the Capitol to support SB 732 are wrong. We were supporting our "Oklahoma Compassionate Care Medical Marijuana bill"  and we feel no need to investigate rather or not marijuana is a medicine. We know it is!!

He agreed to the meeting,but had some special guest waiting for the patient. Oklahoma Law Enforcement Director R. Darrell Weaver with Oklahoma Bureau
of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (OBNDD), the head of the Narcotics
Unit. Read more about it
