Oklahoma struggles to manage POT!

Body
In June 2016, Oklahoma voters approved State Question #788 by a 57%-43% margin. It legalized the licensing, cultivation, use and possession of marijuana for medicinal purposes. Since the passage, the legislature has been dealing with the far-reaching effects of legal pot in the Sooner state. They set up the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA), a division of the Department of Health. The OMMA oversees patient and business licensing for Oklahoma’s medical marijuana program. As of Aug. 1, there are more than 10,000 business licenses in the state — 8,300 are grow licenses and 2,300 dispensaries. Oklahoma has issued far more grow licenses than any state in the country. According to Mark Woodward some of the growers are associated with organized crime from other countries and they are supplying pot to the east coast. Woodward said those growers will struggle to get their license renewed because they will not be able to reach the 75% resident ownership threshold.
