State Question 820 News Today

There are some happy and some disappointed people out there on Wednesday after State Question 820 - the measure to legalize marijuana for those 21 and older - failed in Oklahoma.

Voters soundly defeated State Question 820 on Tuesday.

State Question 820 would legalize recreational cannabis for adults over 21.

Oklahoma City Police Chief Wade Gourley talks about the recently passed curfew for Bricktown, as well as State Question 820.

Voters in Oklahoma will decide Tuesday whether it should be legal to possess and grow recreational marijuana in the state, having already signed off on a now-popular medical marijuana program in 2018.

Approving State Question 820 won’t make things worse. To the contrary, it would free law enforcement to focus on far more serious crimes than simple marijuana possession.

Oklahoma voters will decide on March 7 if the state will join 22 others in legalizing the adult use of marijuana for recreation.

Oklahomans planning to cast ballots in the election to decide whether recreational marijuana should be legalized in the state may take part in early voting beginning Thursday.

March 7 could be an important date in state history: the day that Oklahoma voters approve State Question 820 legalizing recreational marijuana. Or will Oklahoma follow Arkansas, North Dakota and South Dakota in rejecting it?

A yes vote on SQ 820 on March 7 would allow Oklahomans 21 and older to legally purchase or possess up to an ounce of cannabis flower, 8 grams of concentrate and/or 8 grams of concentrate contained within infused products.
