Wait, why in the world would they go to Oklahoma to grow? That is like asking for trouble from the law.

  It's funny that marijuana advocates wasted decades pleading their case under the guise of personal freedom, social equity, compassionate use, and the like. Turns out all it took to convince the right was showing them the money.

    Is that more of a "hahaha" funny or a "my head feels funny" funny?

        Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with their own memory or sense of reality. Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink

    @ramesh31 my take on the California commercial weed disaster is the opposite: the greedy supermajority progressives legalized to get more tax revenue to spend on their various pet projects, but their crushing bureaucracy quickly killed the golden goose. The various libertarian weed growers either went back to the black market or left the state.

To sun it up from the NYTimes article posted below, Oklahoma does in fact have legal medical marijuana. In addition it apparently has pretty lax regulations compared to other states on growing. Basically little limit on how many farms are allowed, how much they can grow, etc. And apparently pretty low startup costs (I assume license fees and all that are low).

OK is as close to a free market as you can get, low license fees, taxes, etc. Recreational use is on the ballet for a special session in the spring and it’s already legal for medicinal use and a very liberal def. of “medicinal” at that. There are dispensaries everywhere. /own 20 acres in SE Oklahoma (tangent, my property taxes last year was a whole $9)
