Dictatorships regularly make legal and available drugs to the majority of the populace. In North Korea, for instance, opium and other “hard drugs” are completely legal and regularly consumed.
So deep-red OK is a dictatorship like North Korea?
I read the article to mean that farmers were taking advantage of a burgeoning market while responding to the dictatorship comment. Oklahoma proper may not be a dictatorship, but as we march toward tyranny, at least our betters will let us get high while they run roughshod over our rights.
Oklahoma also provided protections for state medical card holders including firearm ownership and workplace exceptions for many jobs.
