Sen. Lankford on SQ 788 in Ok.: Marijuana is not used for anyone w/ chronic pain: Just getting high

"Marijuana is not used for anyone with chronic pain other than getting high and to escape the pain,” says Senator Howdy Doody of Oklahoma, despite multiple recent studies proving just the opposite. The Prohibitionists are cutting big checks to defeat State Question 788, but all indicators are the medical marijuana bill will pass next week on June 26th. Get out and vote Oklahoma!

OKLAHOMA CITY — Sen. James Lankford joins KOCO 5 In The Morning to talk about several topics, including State Question 788 which would legalize medical marijuana in Oklahoma.

MM: "The Vote For Medical Marijuana, This Is Coming Up In The June Primary, June 26. You Said This Would Be Harmful To The Social Fabric Of Oklahoma. Are You Opposed To Medical Marijuana Completely Or The Language?"

LANKFORD: "I’m Not Opposed To Medical Marijuana When It Is The Derivative. We See Shops Popping Up Over The State. It’s In Pill Form. It’s In Medicinal Form. That’s Already Legal In Oklahoma . We Have Legalized Marijuana In Cbd. What People Want To Know Is Can I Smoke It To? The FDA Has Been Clear. In The Last Three Years The FFDA Has $1 Billion Of Studies In Medical Marijuana. They Don’t Find Any Indication Of Medical Benefit To Smoking Marijuana. Taking The Derivatives Out. At This State Question Is Not About Using The Pill Form. It’s Not Just Allowing People To Smoke At Four Medicinal Purposes. They Could Say I Have A Headache And My Leftover Hurts Every Other Thursday. They Can Go To A Veterinarian, A Doctor, A Chiropractor, Any Number Of Medical People And They Can Write A Script. I Would Assume If This Passes There Will Be All Kinds Of Places You Can Pay This Dr. $50 Or You Get Access To All The Marijuana To Build And Grow. We Have All Kinds Of Struggles. I Don’t See Our States Better."

MM: "Have You Ever Felt With -- Ever Dealt With Chronic Pain And Seizures Who Say This Saved My Life Or My Family’s Life?"

LANKFORD: "Marijuana Is Not Used For Anyone With Chronic Pain Other Than Getting High And To Escape The Pain. People Said They Would Drop Opioids To Shift To Marijuana. But Its Use For The High-end Other Purposes. There’s Gel Forms, There’s Pill Forms. American Cancer Society, Hospital Society. Not Smoking It Because There Are So Many "

MM: "This Is A Clear Bridge To Making Marijuana Illegal? How Long Until Recreational Marijuana Were To Be Legalized?"

LANKFORD: "This Is A Recreational Marijuana Question Puzder Has Been No Other Marijuana Question That Has Been Isopen As This One. This Is Open Ended For Any Purpose, Any Medical Professional Can Write Your Script. This Is A Recreational Question."

Senator Lankford, recreational marijuana IS medical marijuana.
