Brace yourselves -- recreational marijuana is coming to a ballot near you in March. Enough signatures were, unfortunately, collected via initiative petition to place the measure up for statewide vote. Interestingly enough, by this being delayed until March, OklahomaWatch points out that this November will be the first general election in "nearly a century" that a state question will not be on the ballot.
If there's anything Oklahoma needs more of, it's more pot. [insert eyeroll emoji]
