Oklahoma voters on Tuesday rejected State Question 820, which would have legalized recreational marijuana sales in the state.
Selling cannabis has become a big business in Oklahoma. But, that business could be changing if voters approve State Question 820 next week.
When Oklahoma voters passed State Question 788 in 2018, things were a little chaotic. People had questions about how pot businesses would grow in the market. And with very little regulation, the number of marijuana businesses exploded. By 2020, Oklahoma had more businesses licensed to sell pot than any other state in the country.
Oklahoma lawmakers will consider thousands of bills over the coming months.
As the decades-long push to legalize marijuana state-by-state enters a new phase, Oklahoma could provide an interesting case study.
