Advocacy groups give five top reasons for voting for or against medical marijuana

The pro-medical marijuana group Oklahomans for Health lists these as its top five reasons that Oklahoma voters should support State Question 788 on June 26:

1. Medical marijuana is a valuable medicine that is able to treat myriad conditions with a high level of safety due to its actions on the endocannabinoid system.

2. Oklahoma has a chance to "do this right" by regulating around a physician opinion rather than a list of medical conditions. This places marijuana in the same regulatory and oversight system as prescription drugs are now. Regulating around medical conditions does not and leads to very little physician accountability.

3. SQ 788 sets a business climate that is favorable to Oklahoma and allows an ability for almost any Oklahoman to pursue medical marijuana as a business opportunity.
