Oklahoma Initiative Would Make Pot a Legal, Exportable Cash Crop
Source: US News
Marijuana reform advocates hope Oklahoma will live up to its nickname the Sooner State by becoming the first U.S. jurisdiction to both legalize cannabis for personal use and allow it to be exported as a cash crop.
In the best-case scenario for pro-pot campaigners, there will be two initiatives on the November ballot: One that would allow medical marijuana and another more far-reaching initiative that would comprehensively dismantle status quo pot policies.
The medical marijuana initiative is further along. On May 18 supporters will begin collecting the required 155,216 signatures for ballot access if opponents do not file a challenge with the states supreme court.
The outright legalization initiative is currently being finalized and its backers led by state Sen. Connie Johnson, a Democrat hope to file it with the Oklahoma Secretary of States office as early as Friday.

Although I wish the initiative the best of luck. You have to start sometime.
