When SQ 788 passed on the ballot this last June, it was a huge milestone for stoners, freaks, hippies, lawyers who like to let loose, and grandmas with glaucoma alike. 56% of Oklahomans voted 'yes,' and if my personal bubble of acquaintances is representative of that majority, they're all in the mindset that weed is legal and we'll be spending most our lives living in a cannabis paradise.
This is a reminder that the state's law enforcement is still going to be clamping down on people who are getting high without a permit, and the local media will report it like it's the crime of the century.
Via KTUL:
SPERRY, Okla. (KTUL) — Sperry police arrested a man and woman on Saturday for illegally growing medical marijuana in Sperry.
Officers say they responded to a call of a dog bite around 8:50 p.m. and they knew where the dog lived, so they took it home. When police got to the home, 27-year-old Shane Remington answered the door and said he owned the dog.
First of all, I had to look up where Sperry was for this story. It's a suburb of Tulsa, and it must be so small that Officer Fife knows where everyone's dog lives in the town.
