The group Oklahomans for Responsible Cannabis Action, led by Jed Green, must submit more than 170,000 **signatures** by November 3 to place State Question 837 before voters — a measure that would establish **legal marijuana** for adults aged 21 and older. Green said that the push for **legal marijuana** is about more than convenience; it’s about creating structure, safety, and fairness in Oklahoma’s cannabis market. “Our enforcement arms will not protect our children. We are attempting to do that,” he explained, emphasizing that **legal marijuana** could help eliminate black-market operations and ensure safer products through regulation. So far, the campaign has gathered well over 100,000 **signatures**, according to Green. Petitions have been distributed across 500 locations statewide, with volunteers and business owners working together to reach the goal. The organization plans to collect the remaining **signatures** during the final week of October, a crucial period that could determine whether the proposal makes it to the ballot.   “We also have a lot of slackers — that’s just how cannabis rolls. So, we’ll find out soon exactly how we did.” His comments reflect the mixed but determined energy driving the grassroots effort behind **legal marijuana** in Oklahoma. However, not everyone supports the initiative. The Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police and other law enforcement groups have raised concerns that **legal marijuana** could increase illegal grows and cartel involvement. They argue that without stricter oversight, expanding access may worsen existing problems in the state’s cannabis industry. Despite opposition, supporters believe **legal marijuana** would generate tax revenue, create jobs, and reduce the burden on the criminal justice system. Green maintains that the real test lies in the **signatures** if enough Oklahomans sign, voters will finally have the chance to decide. As the November 3 deadline approaches, volunteers continue to collect **signatures** at dispensaries, community events, and online outreach centers. Whether the measure succeeds or not, the surge in civic participation highlights growing interest in **legal marijuana** reform. For now, all eyes are on the countdown  and whether the campaign can deliver the **signatures** needed to make **legal marijuana** a reality in Oklahoma.   [by KOCO](https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-recreation-marijuana-signatures-ballot-sq-837/68889596) [Cannabis Laws](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/cannabis-laws) [Marijuana legalization](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/marijuana-legalization) ![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=200&height=200&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) #### [Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) At 420 Intel, we cover cannabis legalization news throughout the world, offer reliable information for cannabis business owners, detail technological advances that impact the marijuana industry, cover marijuana rallies from across the globe, and everything in between. - - - [Medical Cannabis News](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/medical-cannabis-news) [![Medical cannabis bill awaits amendment as possible green light to full Nebraska Legislature](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/The%20image%20depicts%20a%20gathering%20of%20Nebraska%20state%20senators%20seated%20around%20a%20large%20oval%20conference%20table%20in%20a%20legislative%20committee%20room%20The%20senators%20are%20engaged%20in%20an%20animated%20discussion%20with%20some%20leaning%20forward%20hands%20gesturing%20expressively%20Natural%20lig-1.jpeg?width=550&height=395&name=The%20image%20depicts%20a%20gathering%20of%20Nebraska%20state%20senators%20seated%20around%20a%20large%20oval%20conference%20table%20in%20a%20legislative%20committee%20room%20The%20senators%20are%20engaged%20in%20an%20animated%20discussion%20with%20some%20leaning%20forward%20hands%20gesturing%20expressively%20Natural%20lig-1.jpeg)](https://420intel.com/blog/medical-cannabis-bill-awaits-amendment-as-possible-green-light-to-full-nebraska-legislature) - [![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=80&height=80&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) - 26 March 2025 #### [Medical cannabis bill awaits amendment as possible green light to full Nebraska Legislature](https://420intel.com/blog/medical-cannabis-bill-awaits-amendment-as-possible-green-light-to-full-nebraska-legislature) ## Path for LB 677 out of committee hinges on at least one vote; new Medical Cannabis Commission...
