The Oklahoma Supreme Court has tossed former Attorney General Scott Pruitt's rewrite of the title on a ballot measure to legalize medical marijuana.

Voters in Oklahoma now could get the chance to vote on State Question 788. The measure most likely would appear on the November 2018 gubernatorial ballot, but a special election also could be held. Gov. Mary Fallin will have to set an election date.

The group Oklahomans For Health, which led a successful petition drive to put a state question on medical marijuana on an upcoming ballot, sued over Pruitt's rewrite in September 2016, with help of the American Civil Liberties Union. The group claimed Pruitt's rewrite was aimed at misleading voters into thinking they were voting in favor of legalizing recreational marijuana, said Ryan Kiesel, executive director for the ACLU of Oklahoma.

"Whether it's the folks that signed this initiative petition or all of the voters who will ultimately have the chance to weigh in on whether or not Oklahoma will have medical marijuana, they should be able to do that without the attorney general injecting his personal political position into the ballot campaign by misrepresenting what the petitioners seek to accomplish," Kiesel said.
