It was only 2 years ago when Kansas and Oklahoma sued the State of Colorado over marijuana leaking into their States (unsuccessful).
On Tuesday of this past week, Oklahoma voters (57% to 43%) passed one of the most lenient medical marijuana citizen initiated ballot initiatives in the USA.
I don't use the stuff but I am in favor of liberty; and I congratulate the good folks of Oklahoma in opting out of the war on drugs (at least in relation to marijuana).
Oklahoma's medical marijuana structure is lenient, because it allows doctors to prescribe it for any condition they deem reasonable. Also, patients can raise their own pot medicine at home; and the penalties for pot possession are greatly reduced.
Liberty is good and having a choice is good.

We don't take our trips on LSD

Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
Football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the…
