Medical marijuana proposal unlikely to make November ballot
A petition to legalize medical marijuana in Oklahoma is unlikely to go before voters in November because advocates say they will challenge the attorney general's rewording of the ballot title — a legal process certain to push the measure beyond the general election.But state officials say it'll be delayed because supporters of State Question 788 didn't submit the required 65,987 voter signatures to qualify with enough buffer time for legal challenges and for the state's Election Board to print and send ballots to counties, military members and overseas voters.If approved by voters, the measure would permit doctors to recommend a patient of at least 25 years old for a state-issued medical marijuana license.
