BILL WOULD CREATE CANNABIS COMMISSION IF OKLAHOMA LEGALIZES MEDICAL WEED

Creation of a Cannabis Commission to regulate medical marijuana in the
state was approved by the Oklahoma House of Representatives on
Thursday night with no votes to spare.

House Bill 3468, by Rep. John Jordan, R-Yukon, sets up an independent
commission that would be activated if voters approve State Question
788 on June 26. That question would legalize medical uses of medical
marijuana, although opponents say its broad construction would
essentially make policing recreational use impossible.

"If you're for full-on recreational marijuana, this is not your bill,"
Jordan said in explaining the bill.
