Voters cast their ballots on SQ 820 at the Millwood Field House for precincts 429 and 431 Tuesday, March 7, 2023
Oklahomans gave a resounding “No” to legalizing recreational marijuana sales Tuesday, striking a blow against efforts to expand an industry beyond the current medical marijuana framework set up five years ago.
Over 61% of voters rejected State Question 820, which was criticized by some law enforcement, religious leaders and public school administrators in the closing weeks of the campaign as a step too far.
