REPOST!!! IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED!!!!! CALL OR EMAIL your Representative in the Oklahoma House of Representatives and URGE THEM TO VOTE: YES!!!! to HB2022 and HB2023. Remember, this is on the House side, so Representatives are the ones we need to contact. Both bills are eligible to be heard at any time on the House floor, so it’s important we let people know we want them to vote yes. We have a battle on our hands. Want to contribute? All I’m asking is that you at make a couple of phone calls or send some emails. That’s all it takes. Tag people in the comments. Get the word out. This sets the tone for medical ma*****na legislation in 2021, and we need them to pass, BIG!!!! Make sure you mention on a call or an email subject that you are a CONSTITUENT!! Find your Representative here: http://www.oklegislature.gov/FindMyLegislature.aspx
I posted this the other day, but below is a summary and links to each of the bills.
HB 2022 (Fetgatter)- Opens access to the Oklahoma Medical Ma*****na Program to CITIZENS OF ALL 50 STATES!!! That’s right, no matter where someone calls home, they can now come to Oklahoma and get a patient license to use medical ma*****na to treat their medical condition. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but this would make Oklahoma the first state to do that in the country. Some states, like Oklahoma’s 6 month temp license previously, allow some form of reciprocity, but THIS IS MUCH BIGGER!! This would mean it doesn’t matter if the person comes from a state with an existing medical program (hello Texas and Kansas Residents!! Missouri and Arkansas, have a overly restrictive program with expensive medicine because you have 20 grows, well come on to Oklahoma and pay us a visit or 500). This bill not only helps all of those patients that don’t have access or affordable meds in their home state, but it also, EXPANDS THE MARKET FOR EVERY OKLAHOMA MEDICAL MA*****NA BUSINESS.

HB 2023 (Fetgatter)- Eliminates the prohibition against license transfers that was in 788 for reasons I still don’t understand. In other words, this allows Oklahoma Medical Ma*****na Businesses to sell their business and transfer their license. THIS IS A MAJOR, MAJOR, MAJOR STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Remember when I said we have to start doing something to make having a license have value, this does that!!!
