Petition | Legalize Marijuana in Oklahoma | Change.org
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.

Women in Prison
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.
