Like so many cannabis battles, after a state's industry is up and running and wildly exceeds expectations, one wonders what all the fuss was about.
So it went in Nevada, Colorado, Michigan, and now so it goes in Oklahoma, which boasted $7Million in medicinal cannabis sales in the month of February, according to an article in High Times. That fine figure follows a $4.3Million month in January, which was four times the $1Million...
