kcar wrote:The red in Oklahoma is looking pretty green... Oklahoma entered the world of legal cannabis late, but its hands-off approach launched a boom and a new nickname: âToke-lahoma.â Oklahoma is now the biggest medical marijuana market in the country on a per capita basis. More than 360,000 Oklahomansânearly 10 percent of the stateâs populationâhave acquired medical marijuana cards over the last two years. By comparison, New Mexico has the countryâs second most popular program, with about 5 percent of state residents obtaining medical cards. Last month, sales since 2018 surpassed $1 billion.
To meet that demand, Oklahoma has more than 9,000 licensed marijuana businesses, including nearly 2,000 dispensaries and almost 6,000 grow operations. In comparison, Coloradoâthe countryâs oldest recreational marijuana market, with a population almost 50 percent larger than Oklahomaâhas barely half as many licensed dispensaries and less than 20 percent as many grow operations. In Ardmore, a town of 25,000 in the oil patch near the Texas border, there are 36 licensed dispensariesâroughly one for every 700 residents. In neighboring Wilson (pop. 1,695), state officials have issued 32 cultivation licenses, meaning about one out of 50 residents can legally grow weed.
What is happening in Oklahoma is almost unprecedented among the 35 states that have legalized marijuana in some form since California voters backed medical marijuana in 1996. Not only has the growth of its market outstripped other more established state programs but it is happening in a state that has long stood out for its opposition to drug use. Oklahoma imprisons more people on a per-capita basis than just about any other state in the country, many of them non-violent drug offenders sentenced to lengthy terms behind bars. But that state-sanctioned punitive streak has been overwhelmed by two other strands of American cultureâa live-and-let-live attitude about drug use and an equally powerful preference for laissez-faire capitalism.
âTurns out rednecks love to smoke weed,â Baker laughs. âThatâs the thing about cannabis: It really bridges socio-economic gaps. The only other thing that does it is handguns. All types of people are into firearms. All types of people are into cannabis.â
Indeed, Oklahoma has established arguably the only free-market marijuana industry in the country. Unlike almost every other state, there are no limits on how many business licenses can be issued and cities canât ban marijuana businesses from operating within their borders. In addition, the cost of entry is far lower than in most states: a license costs just $2,500. In other words, anyone with a credit card and a dream can take a crack at becoming a marijuana millionaire.
âTheyâve literally done what no other state has done: free-enterprise system, open market, wild wild west,â says Tom Spanier, who opened Tegridy Market (a dispensary that takes its name from South Park) with his wife in Oklahoma City last year. âItâs survival of the fittest.â Yes, there's a goddam dispensary on every corner; and a taco truck.
