Legalize industrial hemp, medical marijuana, and recreational marjuana in Oklahoma
Hemp is a fantastic industrial crop, marijuana is a fantastic medical alternative. Prohibition against this crop has historically cost the tax payers money in terms of police enforcement and incarceration, while legalizing and taxing this crop would generate much needed income. It's time to make the change, Legalize medical marijuana, recreational marijuana, and industrial hemp to make Oklahoma strong.
Why is this important?
This petition is being started because the time is now to get over these draconian laws against a plant that was once the number one cash crop in this nation. Its benefit as an industrial crop is well documented. As a medical alternative it is quickly becoming obvious that it is far more beneficial than harmful, and as a recreational drug, it is far safer(and less addictive) than any of the alternatives. The time is now. Stop the prohibition against this plant that is far too beneficial to be ignored any longer. Take a stand for the full legalization of cannabis, as an industrial crop, a medical alternative, and a recreational drug. Instead of locking people up, tax it, and apply that money to the betterment of our state.
