Oklahoma-hottest weed market
Quite a read... Oklahoma is "medical use only" and recreational sales are not allowed.
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/11/27/toke-lahoma-cannabis-market-oklahoma-red-state-weed-legalization-437782 Oklahoma is now the biggest medical marijuana market in the country on a per capita basis. More than 360,000 Oklahomans—nearly 10 percent of the state’s population—have acquired medical marijuana cards over the last two years. By comparison, New Mexico has the country’s second most popular program, with about 5 percent of state residents obtaining medical cards. Last month, sales since 2018 surpassed $1 billion. To meet that demand, Oklahoma has more than 9,000 licensed marijuana businesses, including nearly 2,000 dispensaries and almost 6,000 grow operations. In comparison, Colorado—the country’s oldest recreational marijuana market, with a population almost 50 percent larger than Oklahoma—has barely half as many licensed dispensaries and less than 20 percent as many grow operations. In Ardmore, a town of 25,000 in the oil patch near the Texas border, there are 36 licensed dispensaries—roughly one for every 700 residents. In neighboring Wilson (pop. 1,695), state officials have issued 32 cultivation licenses, meaning about one out of 50 residents can legally grow weed. Much more at link. |

Maybe the med. grade is stronger than the rec. grade? Or cheaper?
I have three diff rec. grade outlets within 10 miles of me. They were quite busy when they opened last year, but now they rarely have over 4-5 cars in the lot.

Yeah, but they don’t smoke it in Muskogee nor do they take their trips on LSD....

It is hard to go further than a few miles without a dispensary. There are two within a couple of miles of my house. There are more weed stores than Starbucks and Subway sandwich stores combined.
