The Texoma High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area compiled a new report filled with data on marijuana use among children and adults, as well as marijuana-related investigations. One significant finding from the report is that Oklahoma is producing more than 30 times the amount of marijuana needed within the state. Sen. James Lankford said similar reports have been conducted in other states but not in Oklahoma. He also mentioned that he has been discussing this issue with federal leaders. “You made your bed, lie in it. We're now seeing the results of people backing off on the law enforcement side as our state rushes into this issue and now DEA and FBI are very engaged in what’s going on and have been for the last couple of years,” Lankford said.   [by KOCO News 5](https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-crack-down-medical-marijuana-industry/64327702) [Cannabis Politics](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/cannabis-politics) ![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. - - - [Cannabis Politics](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/cannabis-politics) [![12 States That Could Legalize Cannabis in 2025](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/The%20image%20depicts%20a%20colorful%20map%20of%20the%20United%20States%2c%20highlighting%2012%20states%20in%20varying%20shades%20of%20green%2c%20indicating%20their%20potential%20status%20for%20cannab.jpeg?width=550&height=395&name=The%20image%20depicts%20a%20colorful%20map%20of%20the%20United%20States%2c%20highlighting%2012%20states%20in%20varying%20shades%20of%20green%2c%20indicating%20their%20potential%20status%20for%20cannab.jpeg)](https://420intel.com/blog/12-states-that-could-legalize-cannabis-in-2025) - [![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) - 27 February 2025 #### [12 States That Could Legalize Cannabis in 2025](https://420intel.com/blog/12-states-that-could-legalize-cannabis-in-2025) Cannabis legalization largely stalled out in 2024 amid cross-chamber disagreements in state...
