You’re telling me having a weed shop on every corner in OKC would somehow make it so the supply wildly outweighed the demand and some of those businesses would have to close? Crazy. /s
In my mind, I’ve recently had this made up scenario where a banker is saying, “I’m sorry, we can’t help you with that home loan. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to rubber stamp approve 50 business loans for weed shops.”
I’m not anti-weed by any stretch. But there simply are too many weed shops, and we might actually see the “invisible hand” work as intended here.
Went home to Tulsa a couple of years ago, good god, more weed stores than Quik Trips. And that’s sayin’ something in Tulsa.
I think the real issue is they didn’t decriminalize recreational.
Yep, weed is only for “certain people” who can afford a medical license. Tbh the reason they didn’t decriminalize weed is because the state doesn’t fund the court system. The courts in Oklahoma are funded by court cost and fines, so it would be a major hit to funding if they legalize recreational.
Go figure.
This happened because the state legislature didn’t expect SQ788 to pass, and didn’t have any plans for rules and regulations… and they’ve been playing catch up.
I knew some people who moved from growing in Colorado to OK, because the laws were so loose at the time. My thoughts at the time were “what the fuck? Have you ever been to Oklahoma?” I guess next everyone will find a different state to head to.
People who only think fiscally are fucking stupid. Yeah they’re may be" more opportunities" yeah it may have “less taxes”. But that way of thinking isn’t unique to your, so unless they’re offering something different, more often then not they were better off staying put.
You couldn’t get me to move to that godless hell hole for a million dollars and my dumbass moved to Florida which is God awful.
