The politics behind this report are fairly self evident.

As I keep saying .. the new war on cannabis has started already

At the moment this is how i see the cannabis industry in the US.

The warning signs are loud and frequent.

The ones making money should start thinking less about how to make more money and bring everybody else along with them because if they don’t all they are going to be left with are some very arduous and ongoing court cases and natural allies will desert them

Executive Summary

After direct requests from Oklahoma legislators, policy makers and their citizen constituents, the TEXOMA High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) has compiled this report to detail the current landscape of marijuana in Oklahoma. Medical marijuana became legalized in Oklahoma in June 2018 and this is the first comprehensive report of its kind in the state. The report is divided into separate topic sections, each providing current and trend information, where available, to provide insight into the overall impact since legalization. As indicated through the data, marijuana legalization in Oklahoma has had a significant impact on the state, with increased marijuana use among both youth and adults. Along with a rise in marijuana related health issues such as emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and calls to the poison control center. The report also highlights the challenges of regulating the industry, including the diversion of marijuana for illegal purposes and the need for ongoing research on the long-term impacts of marijuana use.
