Whenever I talk to medical (and recreational) marijuana advocates about SQ 788, their concern isn't that it won't pass. Based on polling and election results in other states, most of them figure it will be approved by a 3% – 10% margin. That's even with the Oklahoma establishment firmly against it.
The concern advocates have is what our square, behind-the-times, authoritarian Oklahoma lawmakers will do to sabotage SQ 788 once it passes. Kind of like what Ralph Shortey and his buddies in the legislature attempted to do with SQ 780 and 781, there's a fear they'll gut the law and change its intended purpose. Thanks to a couple of bills recently introduced in the Oklahoma House and Senate, those fears seem very justified.
