Co-founders of a political action committee that got medical marijuana on Oklahoma voters' ballots announced this week that they will close their dispensary.

Lauren Jenkins, co-owner of FlowerCraft dispensaries in Tulsa and Coweta, announced Wednesday that the business will close. Saturday is the last day for the Tulsa store, at 2606 S. Sheridan Road. The Coweta store has already closed.

"It's difficult. It's a very difficult industry to be in," Jenkins said in a Facebook video pinned to the FlowerCraft business page. "Having a cannabis business is unlike any other thing we've ever experienced."

In the video Jenkins referenced regulatory hurdles, treatment of the medicine by federal authorities and banking woes for those in the industry.

Her husband, Shawn Jenkins, was a co-founder of the Yes On 788 Political Action Committee. He regularly traveled from Broken Arrow to Oklahoma City to advocate for State Question 788, particularly when state officials were slow to place the measure on the ballot after a successful petition drive.
