It's unbelievable: Justin Carter is in jail for making a bad joke on Facebook. And now his dad says that he's on suicide watch.

Unbelievable and appalling that this is even something that we as citizens are even having to ask for...It is our right to say no and to know who is a threat how dare the government try to turn their check and ignore/allow this to go on.

Oklahoma Governor and State Lawmakers: Support Sen. Johnson’s medical marijuana bill, SB 902 and SB 914

Sen. Constance Johnson, who made headlines recently when she fought to get a hearing for medical marijuana in the Oklahoma Legislature, has filed legislation that calls upon the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision to establish a medical marijuana program in the Sooner State. Separately, she is also sponsoring legislation that would reduce the penalty for possession of small amounts of marijuana....Follow this link to Change.org for more info, sign petition, voice any concerns.http://www.change.org/petitions/oklahoma-governor-and-state-lawmakers-support-sen-johnson-s-medical-marijuana-bill-sb-902-and-sb-914

Legalize Marijuana in Oklahoma
For complete petition informantion and signing please click on the link below..
http://www.change.org/petitions/legalize-marijuana-in-oklahoma-3

Hello,

This is a petition to fully legalize marijuana in the state of Oklahoma. Prisons are over-populated with non-violent offenders and many tax dollars are being spent on processing and preventing crime related to the plant. It's clear that the current prohibition laws are ineffective. Marijuana should be legalized for growth and private consumption as well as for manufacturing products that could be derived from the plant or its seeds. The therapeutic potential of marijuana is great, and it's Hemp characteristics open up a wide range of industrial possibilities (i.e. fuel alternatives, paper, beauty supplies). The legalization of marijuana would also certainly lead to taxation of goods produced from it, which would provide excellent economic benefit. I strongly urge you to sign this petition to legalize marijuana in the state of Oklahoma. Thank you.

Please sign this petition and sent it to everyone you know. Get the word out, get it on CNN, on the local news stations. Demand action. This can happen, and happen with the speed needed. Tornadoes will not be "switched off " because it's more convenient to believe it will not happen to your children's school.

Women In PrisonPatricia Spottedcrow once faced 12 years in prison, but on the morning she was released on parole, it took less than 20 minutes to walk free. She was released on Nov. 30 after completing the community corrections-level portion of her sentence required by Gov. Mary Fallin as a condition of her parole. Spottedcrow's 12-year prison sentence for selling $31 worth of marijuana garnered widespread attention after her story was featured in a 2011 Tulsa World series on women in prison. Patricia Spottedcrow sold $31 in marijuana to an informant and received 12 years in prison. She was one of the women profiled in the series that investigated why Oklahoma is ranked No. 1 in the nation in the number of women in prison. The state incarcerates 134 women per 100,000 residents, compared to the national average of 69 per 100,000, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. While the number of women entering Oklahoma’s prisons each year has remained somewhat stable in recent years – 1,284 in 2009 – the number of women in the system has grown to a high for the decade as tougher sentencing laws have passed. The cost to taxpayers is high, up to $43 per inmate per day at one facility. Meanwhile, experts say the children of female prisoners are at risk to continue the cycle. In 2011, the Tulsa World partnered with Oklahoma Watch -- an independent, non-profit investigative reporting team -- to explore the issue of female incarceration.
