1st offense is a misdemeanor. After that it's 15 years or something.
Okc petition going out today to put decriminalization to a vote of the people instead of mattress Mary and her ilk.

Sort of.
You can expect any cash on hand to be used as evidence of felony intent to distribute. God forbid you have a food scale and Ziploc baggies in your home. Find something behind an interior solid core door, or have more than a deadbolt on your exterior door and expect felony intent to hinder law enforcement. There's several other good ones I've seen and heard from prosecutors, but I'm typing on a phone. Oklahoma loves to stack charges to get you to plea out to something "lesser" even if that lesser offense still wouldn't stick if tried.

admitting you were planning to smoke a bowl with a friend, your brother, or your wife will get you a felony too. gotta keep the slave labor force up. justify all the private prisons, keep the cash flowing to our state elected officials.
if you are legally packing with a CCW license ... don't forget to add felony count of using a weapon while committing a crime.
You don't even have to be the one with the gun. It just must be present. It doesn't even have to be loaded.
Thus why you never consent to a search and never let a cop in your house (even if you consider the person a close friend).
I once got served foreclosure papers to the wrong address (the directions the deputy had written down were to my house, and my house matched the description he had, but name and address on the notice were for a bit further down the road). I opened the door enough to slip through and close it behind me, the whole time he's trying to look around me to see inside. The other deputy was trying to look through the windows on the porch (face against, hands blocking out any sidelight) and started giving me the third degree on why we had blackout curtains on every window and why the screens had 1" square wire over them. He also didn't like that we have a switch on our yard lamp.
First thing that bothered me was wrong directions even though the papers they had had the legal description. Second thing was the hot shot leaving with the comment "we'll probably be back later to get some answers to my questions." All I had to say at that point was "good luck."
I may look the part and I may have relatives who have had legal trouble, but you've gotta do better than stacking because I've seen enough of that to A) not fall for it, and B) not hire rural attorneys.

Colorado Court Okays Retroactive Reversal of Marijuana Convictions
When President Obama gave the green light for states to set their own marijuana laws, he set in motion what is becoming unprecedented and much-needed change in our country’s antiquated and harshly counterproductive drug laws. Not only has Colorado and Washington State succesfully legalized recreational use of marijuana, other states are now exploring with similar legislation.
The amount of people behind bars because of possession of small amounts of marijuana has increased drastically since the War on Drugs was instituted by President Nixon in 1971. In Colorado alone, 9,000 residents a year were imprisoned prior to Amendment 64, the amendment that legalized marijuana in the state. Without a doubt, the criminalization of marijuana in America has become a very serious human rights issue, but one that Pres. Obama and states like Colorado are well on their way to fixing.
The easing of the drug laws is presenting Colorado with a complicated issue surrounding those who have been arrested after the passage, but prior to the implementation of, Amendment 64. Thankfully, in a historic ruling, Colorado judges have decided to retroactively apply the law to those incarcerated.

A study published Monday in the journal Neurology has found that medical marijuana could help ease multiple sclerosis symptoms. The study found that taking the drug in pill or oral-spray form can help to reduce stiffness and involuntary spasms, and the pain that can come with those symptoms. Medical marijuana can also help with frequent urination, the study found.
Researchers examined a whole range of complementary or alternative medicine therapies often used by those who battle MS, including bee sting therapy, gingko biloba, magnetic therapy, omega-3 fatty acids and reflexology. They reviewed 2,608 studies on these therapies to determine which might be effective in alleviating MS symptoms, and discovered that the pill or oral spray form of medical marijuana provided the most evidence that it could help.
Still, don’t light up just yet: The report states that there isn’t enough research to determine whether smoking the drug would have the same effect.
Although medical marijuana in these forms did help with a range of symptoms, it appeared to have little effect on reducing tremors or urinary incontinence. There were also several negative side effects associated with using this therapy - including dizziness, drowsiness, loss of balance and cognitive issues.
The results of the study have helped to form the basis of new guidelines on alternative treatments for MS from the American Academy of Neurology.
