TULSA, Okla. — The petition to put recreational marijuana legalization on the Oklahoma ballot is now going to the state Supreme Court.
The petition concerns State Question 820 which would legalize, regulate, and tax recreational marijuana usage for anyone over 21 years old in Oklahoma if passed by voters.
In July, Oklahomans for Sensible Marijuana Laws submitted over 160,000 signatures in support of putting the state question on the ballot in the future. Since then, the signatures needed to be verified by the Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State's office concluded signature verification on Aug. 17 and filed on Aug. 22. The count now goes to the state Supreme Court to determine the numerical sufficiency or insufficiency. No date is set for that to take place at this time.
