Medical Marijuana Petitioners Must Stay on the Boundaries

Green the Vote Oklahoma

The Tulsa State Fair has animals, rides, and unusual foods…but not the opportunity to sign a petition to legalize medical marijuana as supporters originally intended. Green the Vote Oklahoma volunteers claim they went through the process to get a fairgrounds booth, but were frozen out. Spokesman Josh Lewelling assumes it’s because of the subject matter.

Fairgrounds Spokeswoman Sarah Thompson denies that’s the case. She says it’s more about the best use of available space and safety of petitioners and patrons.

Lewelling says Green the Vote will be gathering signatures, but will have to do it in public areas outside the fairgrounds property.
