Medical Marijuana in the Sooner State: An Update from Jackie Fortier of StateImpact Oklahoma

Aired on Monday, September 10th.

Medical Marijuana was approved by voters here in Oklahoma as recently as June of this year, yet so much is happening on this front -- medically, politically, economically, legislatively, etc. -- that it can be rather difficult to stay informed. On this edition of ST Medical Monday, our guest is Jackie Fortier, the StateImpact Oklahoma reporter who covers health and medicine for KWGS, KGOU, KOSU, and other public radio outlets across the state. Fortier brings us up to speed on the fast-moving, far-reaching story that is Medical Marijuana in Oklahoma. (Note that you can access the detailed "Medical Marijuana Vote" map mentioned in this interview here, and that a link for the newly created Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority is here.)
