    You’re telling me having a weed shop on every corner in OKC would somehow make it so the supply wildly outweighed the demand and some of those businesses would have to close? Crazy. /s

    In my mind, I’ve recently had this made up scenario where a banker is saying, “I’m sorry, we can’t help you with that home loan. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to rubber stamp approve 50 business loans for weed shops.”

    I’m not anti-weed by any stretch. But there simply are too many weed shops, and we might actually see the “invisible hand” work as intended here.

      I think the real issue is they didn’t decriminalize recreational.

        Yep, weed is only for “certain people” who can afford a medical license. Tbh the reason they didn’t decriminalize weed is because the state doesn’t fund the court system. The courts in Oklahoma are funded by court cost and fines, so it would be a major hit to funding if they legalize recreational.

          It’s $100 a year. If you can’t afford that you can’t afford weed.

            That’s just the application fee, it’s usually around 200-300 to go to a MD that writes scripts. People are extremely impoverished in some places here, and they have been growing their own weed for a long time. They shouldn’t have to fork over their rent money to get permission to grow a plant.

              No. That’s the doctor appointment.

              If they are growing their own weed this doesn’t affect them.

                You still need a medical license to grow for personal use, which means you still need to go to a doctor who prescribes cannabis.

      Went home to Tulsa a couple of years ago, good god, more weed stores than Quik Trips. And that’s sayin’ something in Tulsa.
