It's safe to go out again in the town of Blackwell!
Earlier this week, the city's police force and the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics busted a – gasp! – marijuana operation that was operating without a license, and in the process, making the entire city's downtown smell like a skunk.

A Blackwell, Okla., medical marijuana grow house was raided after operating with expired licenses.
The Blackwell Police Department and the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics started the three-month-long investigation in February of 2021. It began when residents complained about a noxious smell in the downtown area, police said.
“It was a skunk smell that I had no idea what it was,” said a Blackwell resident.
