Gov. Stitt Wants Voters to 'Shut Down' Medical Marijuana
Governor Stitt called for ending medical marijuana due to criminal concerns and urged abolishing OSSAA citing eligibility disputes affecting 482 member schools statewide.
- At his final State of the State, Stitt urged the Oklahoma Legislature to send questions asking voters to shut down the medical marijuana industry, saying `Stitt said, 'This keeps the growth of government in check and protects the Oklahoma taxpayers.'`
- Referencing the 2018 vote, Stitt argued out-of-state activists preyed on Oklahomans and called the marijuana industry 'one of the greatest threats to public safety'.
- As part of a broader agenda, Stitt proposed codifying a 3% annual cap on recurring spending and seeding a $750 million "taxpayer endowment fund" from savings.
- The OSSAA replied that it defends its member-governed structure, while tribal leaders condemned Stitt's remarks, according to statements made yesterday.
- The legislative calendar shows the 2026 legislative session runs through May, giving lawmakers time to consider measures before voters, with Gov. Kevin Stitt's final term ending January 11, 2027.
