A new bill signed into law will make changes to Oklahoma s medical marijuana industry. Under the law, businesses will be allowed to transfer licenses if they are sold to new owners. In addition, the Oklahoma Tax Commission will be allowed to collect a fee so they can audit businesses, and the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority will be able to work with the state Bureau of Narcotics to crack down on illegal businesses.

Black Oklahoma man faces 1st-degree murder charge after killing white alleged burglar Marquise Francis
LaRue Bratcher, a 34-year-old Black Army veteran from Oklahoma, remains behind bars on a charge of first-degree murder more than a year after he shot and killed a white man allegedly trying to break into his marijuana grow business.
With his trial date delayed until later this year, Bratcher’s family and friends and members of the Oklahoma City community are rallying behind him, saying the murder charge is unjust.
“I feel like this was an injustice for the simple fact that if the roles were reversed, if this was a white person inside the facility, he would not be in this situation,” Bratcher’s wife, Vicky Bratcher, told Yahoo News in a video interview.
