If you are in Oklahoma, you might consider doing a little work toward getting cannabis legalized. March 7th isn't that far away, so why not do your part? At the very least, be sure to VOTE! Oklahoma Marijuana Activists Launch TV Ad And Knock On Doors To Build Support For Legalization Ballot Measure Oklahoma Marijuana Activists Launch TV Ad And Knock On Doors To Build Support For Legalization Ballot Measure Oklahoma activists are stepping up their push to raise voter awareness of an initiative to legalize marijuana that will appear on the state ballot next month, with new ads and door-knocking efforts. With just weeks before the special election on March 7, the Yes on 820 campaign is making sure that people know what’s at stake. A pair of 15- and 30-second ads that recently launched explain the basics of the legalization measure and urge voters to “vote yes” at the ballot. “Get the facts about State Question 820. The law will regulate and tax marijuana for adults 21 and up,” the longer ad says. “It has strict safety requirements for labeling, childproof packaging and quantity limits to keep us and our kids safe.” (A video of the commercial went here, but it didn't copy and paste. So click the link to see it. ) “Plus, it will generate millions for schools and health care and free up police resources to focus on serious violent crime to make our communities safer,” it continues. “It’s working in other states. It’s time for Oklahoma.” A campaign spokesperson told Marijuana Moment that the spot has been running on digital platforms so far but will begin airing on cable and broadcast television as of Tuesday. Meanwhile, advocates are also hitting the streets for grassroots work to tell voters individually about the initiative, which Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) formally placed on the special March ballot in October after the campaign ran into procedural problems getting it on last November’s general election ballot and ultimately did not prevail in a lawsuit in which they wanted the state Supreme Court to put the measure up for a vote last year.

Oh well, losses happen. On the bright side, my SC NORML chapter is selling doughnuts soon so I’ll cope.
