**Oklahoma already voted on medical ma*****na. Kevin Stitt wants a do-over.**

This is not a rumor. This is not paranoia. In his final State of the State address, Gov. Kevin Stitt called for Oklahoma’s medical ma*****na issue to be sent “back to the vote of the people” so the state can “shut it down.” Oklahoma already voted. State Question 788 passed in 2018 with nearly 57% of the vote. Patients won. The people won. Now they want another bite at the apple because they did not like the answer.

And let’s be clear about who gets hurt first.

Not cartels. Not bad actors. Not illegal grows.

Patients.

The veteran with PTSD. The grandmother with chronic pain. The cancer patient trying to eat. The epileptic patient whose family has already tried everything. The person with MS, seizures, nerve damage, migraines, arthritis, spinal injuries, anxiety, insomnia, and the thousand other chronic conditions that do not fit neatly into a politician’s talking point.

Oklahoma’s law was built differently on purpose. SQ 788 trusted doctors and patients instead of forcing sick people to beg the Legislature to recognize their condition. That was the spirit of 788. Medical decisions belong between patients and physicians, not Kevin Stitt, not a committee room, not a press conference, and not politicians looking for a culture-war headline.

But ever since Oklahomans passed SQ 788, the political class has been chipping away at it.

They called it “regulation.”
They called it “cleanup.”
They called it “safety.”
But year after year, they kept coming back with more restrictions, more fees, more moratoriums, more rule changes, more barriers, more excuses, and more ways to make the voter-approved system less like what Oklahomans actually voted for.

Remember HB 2612, the so-called “Unity Bill,” signed by Kevin Stitt in 2019? The Ma*****na Policy Project warned at the time that parts of that bill undermined patient protections passed by voters, including concerns about tenant patients, employment protections, home cultivation, and access continuity. The names attached to that bill included Rep. Jon Echols, Sen. Greg McCortney, and Rep. Carol Bush.

And the march has not stopped.

Official OMMA legislative tracking shows years of bills reshaping the program, including bills tied to Rep. Scott Fetgatter, Rep. Rusty Cornwell, Rep. Jon Echols, Rep. T.J. Marti, Rep. Ty Burns, Rep. Tammy Townley, Rep. Anthony Moore, Rep. John Pfeiffer, Rep. David Hardin, Rep. Kevin Wallace, Sen. Lonnie Paxton, Sen. Jerry Alvord, Sen. Bill Coleman, Sen. Darrell Weaver, Sen. Randy Grellner, Sen. Brent Howard, Sen. Jessica Garvin, Sen. Darcy Jech, Sen. Roger Thompson, Sen. Paul Rosino, Sen. Greg Treat, Sen. James Leewright, and Sen. Blake Stephens.

And now in 2026, the active list includes more medical ma*****na bills from Rep. Rusty Cornwell and Sen. Jerry Alvord, Rep. T.J. Marti and Sen. Darcy Jech, Rep. Carl Newton and Sen. Darcy Jech, Sen. Lonnie Paxton and Rep. Cynthia Roe, Sen. Warren Hamilton and Rep. T.J. Marti, and Sen. Darcy Jech and Rep. Anthony Moore.

Some of those bills may be sold as safety. Some may be sold as enforcement. Some may be sold as “common sense.” But the pattern is impossible to ignore: the people passed a patient-centered law, and the politicians keep trying to turn it into something smaller, weaker, harder, more expensive, and easier to attack.

Now Stitt is saying the quiet part out loud: shut it down.

Oklahomans should be furious.

Because this is bigger than ma*****na. This is about whether your vote counts after Election Day. This is about whether a state question means anything once the Legislature gets annoyed by it. This is about whether patients with chronic medical conditions get to keep medicine they legally rely on, or whether politicians get to gamble with their pain because it polls well with the right donors and the right crowd.

There are more than 310,000 licensed Oklahoma patients right now. These are not talking points. These are our neighbors. Our parents. Our spouses. Our veterans. Our coworkers. Our children with caregivers. Our people.

Yes, illegal grows should be shut down. Yes, criminals should be prosecuted. Yes, trafficking, violence, fraud, and cartel activity should be attacked with everything the state has.

But you do not punish patients because the state failed to regulate criminals.

You do not burn down a hospital because somebody robbed the pharmacy.

You do not erase the will of the people because Kevin Stitt wants one last political fight on his way out the door.

Oklahoma voted. Patients complied. Businesses paid fees. Doctors followed the rules. Patients paid taxes. The state collected tens of millions of dollars. And now, after all that, they want to drag sick people back to the ballot box and make them defend their medicine again.

No.

If they want to fight illegal grows, fight illegal grows.
If they want to prosecute traffickers, prosecute traffickers.
If they want better enforcement, fund enforcement.
If they want safer products, write narrow safety rules.

But do not pretend that “shut it down” is patient protection.

It is not.

It is a slap in the face to every Oklahoman who voted for SQ 788, every patient who depends on it, and every family that has watched medical ma*****na give someone they love a little relief when nothing else worked.

Call your representative. Call your senator. Ask them one question:

Will you protect SQ 788 and Oklahoma patients, or will you help Kevin Stitt overturn the will of the people?

**Oklahoma, we need to talk.**

Governor Kevin Stitt has reportedly called for Oklahoma’s medical ma*****na issue to be sent back to voters, saying: **“Send the ma*****na issue back to the vote of the people and shut it down.”**

Not a rumor. Not a Facebook fever dream. Not something your uncle yelled at Thanksgiving after three sweet teas. That was reported from his **2026 State of the State address**.

Source: KGOU / State of the State coverage

But here is the part everyone needs to remember:

**Oklahoma already voted.**

In 2018, voters approved **SQ 788** with **56.86% of the vote**, creating legal access to medical ma*****na for qualified patients.

That means more than half a million Oklahomans said yes.

Not “maybe.”
Not “circle back later.”
Not “please ask us again when politicians are annoyed.”

They voted **yes**.

And this is not just a political issue.

This is a **patient** issue.

As of May 1, 2026, OMMA reported **310,850 patient licenses** in Oklahoma.

That is 310,850 people. People with families, jobs, pain, trauma, cancer, seizures, PTSD, anxiety, chronic illness, and medical conditions that do not magically vanish because somebody at the Capitol wants a do-over button.

Now, let’s be clear:

Yes, Oklahoma should go after illegal grows.

Yes, bad actors should be shut down.

Yes, public safety matters.

Absolutely. Nobody is out here saying, “Please let organized crime run a greenhouse next to the Dollar General.”

But there is a Grand Canyon-sized difference between cracking down on criminals and taking legal medicine away from patients.

**Patients are not the problem.**

Patients are not loopholes.

Patients are not some sneaky little asterisk in the law.

**Patients are Oklahomans.**

SQ 788 also created serious tax revenue for the state. In 2025 alone, OMMA reported more than **$45.3 million in SQ 788 excise tax** and more than **$58.3 million in state and local sales tax** from medical ma*****na purchases.

That money helps fund state and local services.

So the question is pretty simple:

Why punish patients for the actions of criminals?

Why threaten access instead of enforcing the laws already on the books?

Why act like Oklahomans did not already vote on this?

We do not need fear.

We do not need political games.

We do not need another round of “let’s make patients nervous for no good reason.”

We need responsible regulation, honest enforcement, and respect for the patients who rely on this program.

📢 **WHAT CAN OKLAHOMANS DO?**

**1. Contact your State Representative and State Senator.**
Tell them whether you are a patient, caregiver, family member, business owner, employee, or voter who wants patient access protected. Ask where they stand on SQ 788, medical ma*****na access, and any attempt to repeal, replace, or restrict the program.

**2. Share your story.**
If medical cannabis has helped you or someone you love, speak up. Real patient stories matter. Lawmakers need to hear from actual people, not just lobbyists, headlines, and whatever nonsense is floating around online.

**3. Watch the bills.**
Pay attention to proposed legislation, emergency rules, agency changes, and ballot language. Big changes can happen quietly when voters are not watching. That is how you wake up one morning and find out someone tried to rearrange your rights before breakfast.

**4. Show up when it matters.**
Attend town halls, legislative meetings, committee hearings, and public comment opportunities when you can. A room full of informed Oklahomans sends a message. A room full of informed Oklahomans with receipts sends an even louder one.

**5. Share factual information.**
Do not let this issue get buried under fear, rumors, or political spin. Share the facts. Share the numbers. Share what SQ 788 has meant for patients.

Oklahoma voted.

Patients matter.

The people’s voice matters.
