A federal judge in Oklahoma has ruled that a federal law prohibiting people who use marijuana from owning firearms is unconstitutional, the latest challenge to firearms regulations after the conservative-dominated US supreme court set new standards for reviewing gun laws.

Lawyers for Jared Michael Harrison argued that their client’s second amendment right to bear arms was violated by a federal law that makes it illegal for “unlawful users or addicts of controlled substances” to possess firearms.

Harrison was charged after being arrested by police in Lawton, Oklahoma, in May 2022 following a traffic stop. During a search of his car, police found a loaded revolver and marijuana. Harrison told police he had been on his way to work at a medical marijuana dispensary but did not have a state-issued medical-marijuana card.

His lawyers argued the portion of federal firearms law focused on drug users or addicts was not consistent with the historical tradition of firearm regulation, echoing what the US Supreme Court ruled last year in a case known as New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen that set new standards for interpreting the second amendment.

Federal prosecutors argued that the portion of the law focused on drug users is “consistent with a longstanding historical tradition in America of disarming presumptively risky persons, namely, felons, the mentally ill, and the intoxicated”.

A US District Judge, Patrick Wyrick, agreed with Harrison’s lawyers, ruling on Friday that prosecutors’ arguments that Harrison’s status as a marijuana user “justifies stripping him of his fundamental right to possess a firearm … is not a constitutionally permissible means of disarming Harrison”.

“But the mere use of marijuana carries none of the characteristics that the nation’s history and tradition of firearms regulation supports,” said Wyrick, who was appointed by Donald Trump.

Wyrick highlighted that under Oklahoma law, marijuana can be bought legally at more than 2,000 store fronts in the state.

Attorneys for Harrison, as well as the US attorney for the western district of Oklahoma, prosecuting the case, did not immediately comment.

The ruling came after a three-judge panel of the Fifth US Circuit Court Of Appeals in New Orleans on Thursday ruled that the government cannot stop people who have domestic violence restraining orders from owning guns. The panel referenced the Bruen decision. Two of the three judges on that panel are Trump appointees.

The Justice Department has said it will seek further review of the appeals Court’s decision.

In September, a federal judge in Midland, Texas, ruled that a firearms law that bans those under felony indictment from buying guns was unconstitutional. In that case, the US District Judge David Counts, also a Trump appointee, also echoed Supreme Court language in the Bruen case, saying there was “little evidence” the ban related to being under indictment “aligns with this nation’s historical tradition”.

If you wanna know what the next wave of reefer madness is gonna look like heres an article from my state about how theyre shutting down permits for new dispensaries possibly indefinitely but for sure 2 years. Meaning anyone denied at this point may never be able to open shop here. Theyre also not allowing dispensaries within 1000 ft of schools because think of the children i guess 🙄

Im guessing all the rich white people who wanted to get a bit of the profit decided they were done letting others get a claim. Im looking for this to turn into a bunch of small time shops being forced to close and leaving the big sanitized chain stores in control of the market.

Tightening the grip on weed is a transparent way to criminalize it again through heavy restrictions on who can use it. As of now Oklahoma is pretty lax with who gets their card, but i cant see it staying that way forever. Theres already laws that criminalize people seeing your legal weed gear.

#feel free to share but dont fuck around on my post #anyway this is a blatant attack on anyone who isnt a rich abled white person and i will die on this hill

How Much Does Medical Marijuana Cost in Oklahoma Since the passage

How Much Does Medical Marijuana Cost in Oklahoma Since the passage of

SQ 788, Oklahoma has developed one of the most comprehensive medical marijuana programs in the country. Oklahoma's medical marijuana industry experienced a resurgence in 2020, outpacing competing markets such as Illinois, Maryland and Ohio. When local business owners learned that there were more than 200,000 registered cannabis patients, they scrambled to get approvals and open businesses to meet the growing demand.

Oklahoma's cannabis industry is as close to a free market system as possible, which may be a factor in its rapid growth. SQ 788 is not only very patient friendly, but also provides an ideal environment to do business.

Participants in Oklahoma's medical marijuana program are not required to have a specific medical condition, unlike many other states' medical marijuana programs. This is very important! In Oklahoma, doctors are not required to follow a list of recognized conditions compiled by politicians, but are free to express their professional medical judgment.

So it's clear, thanks to the industry boom and tax revenue, that medical cannabis is here to stay. Why not apply for a medical marijuana possession card today and join the thousands of people who have already done so? Read on to find out how.

Medical Cannabis License in Oklahoma: How much does it cost?

Qualifying for medical marijuana in Oklahoma is much easier than most people think. Thanks to the legislators who drafted SQ 788, Oklahoma was able to implement a simple and easy-to-understand mechanism to provide patients with access to cannabis.

First, you should see your doctor and get a medical marijuana evaluation.

After your evaluation, you must file a medical marijuana registration with the Oklahoma State Legislature to receive your card in the mail. Most doctors will be on-site to explain the process and answer any questions you may have about your state application.

Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Lowest Price Map

In Oklahoma, patients are not required to undergo marijuana testing at a medical facility. Therefore, if you are interested in a marijuana evaluation, you do not need to visit a clinic to receive it. Thanks to recent developments in telemedicine, you don't even have to get up from the couch.

An initial in-person medical marijuana evaluation often costs $150. However, there may be additional associated costs, such as:

Time off from work

Commuting time

Contact with sick people

General inconvenience

How much does it cost Oklahoma medical marijuana card registration fee?

After you pass the medical exam and receive your doctor's note, you must complete and submit a state license application.

It costs $100 to apply for medical marijuana in the state. However, if you have Soonercare Medicare or are a disabled veteran, you can pay a discounted rate of $20. When you are ready to apply, submit the required documents.

I went to bed 4 hours ago at this point... It's now 4 A.M... I was on fambase watching one of my SW friends, and she was moaning pretty loudly. My partner, who I call my husband, even though we aren't legally married due to me still being legally married to my ex-husband (I'll post about that some other time), had his Xbox headset on the chair in front of me that he usually sits on and was in the bathroom. He was in a party with his friends about to play a match on Fortnight (oh how I despise how much time he spends on that game, but I'd much rather he let his frustrations out that way than any other way), and I did not realize that his mic was picking up the sounds coming from my phone. He opened the bathroom door and started shouting that I needed to turn it down because he saw his mic notification pop up (it only pops up when sound is detected). I, being pregnant and scatterbrained, didn't realize that it had started picking things up before he started yelling, so I replied with, "It's only picking up because you're shouting," which, for some reason, prompted him to tell me, "Well, you're not very smart, are you?" Now, let me start here before anyone offers me any relationship advice that I DON'T WANT OR NEED, NOR DID I ASK FOR... My partner is usually very understanding. Things like this never get said and never happen. I immediately backed out of the app, locked my phone, dropped my head, and went to clean up my mess in the kitchen from cooking dinner, before going to the bedroom without saying a single word to him. He then took it upon himself to try to hook me up with someone on clapper, an app I use for my SW, that wanted to go live with me right then and there. He assumed I was too mad at him, which I wasn't until he said I was. We now haven't said much of anything to each other, aside from me texting him to ask if he was in the bathroom because this baby is pushing on my bladder in the worst ways...

Anyways, I've been laying here for 4 hours, and I have no one I can talk to, no one I can vent to, and I can't bring this up to my partner, who is cold turkey quitting smoking marijuana due to having no other option (we live in Oklahoma and it is only medicinal here, neither of us has an OK state ID or Med card) and is in constant pain, because I don't want to upset him...

I found out I was pregnant on 07.29.2023. I was around 3.5-4 weeks pregnant at that time, and I was ecstatic. I got my birth control taken out in December 2022, and we had been trying to get pregnant. Ever since, I've had horrible morning sickness, most of my extremities have swollen, and I get cramps that would worry a normal person (but I know my body is just fine and my baby is okay).

Ever since, I have been on a roller coaster of emotions, being depressed a good majority of the time because I have never felt so alone in my life... My partner tries to understand to my face, but messages to his friends tell me lately that he regrets knocking me up, and I have no idea what to do. Again, I am NOT asking for advice or anyone's input on my relationship. I am just stating how I feel about what I've seen because I refuse to ask him about it.

I had a friend here who offered me help getting whatever I needed when I lost my car and then found out I was pregnant, but that friendship ended abruptly when I asked her if she could take me to the store since WIC doesn't work online... She said she felt I was taking advantage of her kindness and that I wasn't being an actual friend. I tried explaining why I haven't wanted to go to her house much and hang out, and I must not have said the right things because I got told off and then my partner nagged me for days about trying to make amends with her... I'm just not ready to... I don't feel I deserve her friendship... I don't feel I deserve anyone's friendship or kindness anymore... I don't feel I deserve anything anymore, if I'm being completely honest. I don't deserve this child, my partner, this life I've been trying to build... Even as I type this, I'm almost in tears and thanking whoever invented autocorrect and Grammarly because I'd be lost without it... I just don't know what to do anymore.

I moved to Oklahoma from Colorado to escape my previous marriage to a cheating, lying, manipulative, sociopathic narcissist... Only to find myself isolated completely once I did... My current partner has been mostly nothing short of everything I've ever wanted. I just wish I could tell him how alone I feel without him offering me advice on making amends with that friend...

I have no one I can talk to about anything I go through because everyone just wants to give me "advice" or tell me it could be worse than it is...

My own family hasn't checked on me once in the 10 weeks I've known I'm pregnant, except when I post something "concerning" on Facebook or Snapchat. Yet they all want to claim my unborn child...

We're moving back to Colorado in a few weeks so I can have a support system and be able to provide for my growing family, and I've never been more terrified of anything in my life, if I'm being completely honest... I'm so scared that everything is going to blow up in my face. I'm so scared that I won't be able to make anything in the future work. I'm so scared... And I've never felt worse about myself or my life than I have lately...

Which Are The Best Strains For Autism?

The best strains for autism include Afghani, Blue Dream, Green Crack, Chocolope, and Charlotte’s Web, among others. Many factors make a marijuana strain ideal for treating autism. But even before getting to the strain, many important factors come to mind when considering marijuana treatment for autism. This article highlights most of the issues surrounding medical marijuana treatment for autism and concludes with a discussion on the best strains to turn to when the autism seems to get the better of your child.

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Autism is a spectrum of disorders that are linked to impairment in neural development. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) encompasses a range of disorders characterized by issues with communication and social interaction. Because this is a spectrum, the symptoms will vary depending on where the child is placed on the spectrum. For example, children with Asperger’s syndrome (an autistic spectrum disorder) have significant difficulties in social interaction. In extreme cases, the affected child cannot carry out most self-care activities on their own. In mild cases, one can hardly tell that the child is autistic unless trained to identify the subtle signs of autism. Symptoms of autism include having repetitive behavior, being non-verbal or having poor communication skills, and having impaired social skills, among others. These symptoms usually become apparent before three years of age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), autism tends to be present in boys more than in girls, with a 4 to 1 ratio. According to the latest data, the CDC estimated that 1 in 59 children were identified with ASD in 2014. In most cases, autism is not a life sentence. With adequate care, a child should be able to lead a near-normal life. While there are no cures for ASD, certain therapies have been helpful in improving symptoms. Treatment options include behavioral, occupational, speech, physical, and play therapy. In terms of alternative treatment options, it is speculated that marijuana could help children cope with the negative effects of autism, but further research is needed to verify this preliminary evidence.

Is it Ethical to Treat Children with Medical Cannabis?

There has been controversy on the use of marijuana treatment on children. In 2015, the Canadian Pediatric Society issued a statement saying that there was insufficient data on the efficacy or safety of cannabis use in children. But since the FDA approved Epidiolex, a cannabis-based drug, to treatintractable childhood seizures, the medical fraternity has become less skeptical about medical cannabis use in children. The issue of ethics is not a straightforward one. Marijuana strains with high CBD and low THC are considered safe and therefore ethical for use in children. However, high THC strains are treated with skepticism; the long-term effects of THC on the developing brain are controversial. Thus, high-CBD/low-THC strains are preferred when dealing with autism in children, unless the case is palliative. The following states have included autism on their list of qualifying conditions for medical marijuana.

Is Medical Marijuana Approved For Autism

Medical marijuana is approved for autism in the following states: - Delaware - Georgia - Illinois - Iowa - Louisiana - Michigan - Minnesota - Missouri - New Mexico - Pennsylvania - The Territory of Puerto Rico - Rhode Island - Texas - Utah - Florida - Oklahoma - Oregon - Massachusetts - Washington DC - Colorado - California Each state sets its own rules for the use of medical marijuana within its jurisdiction. Pennsylvania was the first state to approve marijuana for the treatment of childhood autism. To get approved for medical cannabis for autism, you’ll need a written recommendation from a qualified medical marijuana doctor allowing you to obtain a medical marijuana card.

Cannabis for Autism: What Research Says

Research into cannabis and autism spectrum disorders is still new. In 2018, a Stanford University study found that anandamide levels (the bliss molecule) was lower in children with ASD. Some research suggests that THC produces more intense and similar effects to anandamide. In theory, THC could be a promising option for autism patients. A study published in 2019 in the Journal of Nature found that cannabis can relieve symptoms of autism such as seizures, restlessness, cognitive impairment, speech impairment, and fits of rage. The study was titled “Real life experience of medical cannabis treatment in autism; analysis of safety and efficacy.” In this study, 188 patients with autism spectrum disorder were followed up over six months. Most patients were treated with a cannabis oil containing 30% CBD and 1.5% THC. After six months of treatment, 82.4% of patients were in active treatment and 60.0% have been assessed. Here are the results of the study: - 1% of patients reported improvement in symptoms - 7% reported moderate improvement - 4% of patients reported slight improvement - 6% reported no change in condition - About 25% of patients experienced at least 1 side effect from the treatment (the most common was restlessness) Overall, cannabis was found to be a “well tolerated, safe, and effective option to relieve symptoms associated with ASD.” A 2018 study performed at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center tested the effect of a whole-plant cannabis extract (20:1 CBD:THC) on 60 autistic children who displayed severe behavioral issues. Here are the results: - Behavioral outbreaks were much improved or very much improved in 61% of patients - Anxiety and communication issues were much or very much improved in 39% and 47%, respectively - Disruptive behaviors were improved by 29% - Parents reported lower stress levels, by 33% - Adverse effects included sleep disturbances (14%), irritability (9%), and loss of appetite (9%) In a study published in 2018 titled “Oral Cannabidiol Use in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder to Treat Related Symptoms and Co-morbidities,” 53 children with autism were given a dose of 20:1 ratio of CBD to THC for a period of 66 days. - Self-injury and rage attacks improved in 67.6% and worsened 8.8% - Hyperactivity symptoms improved in 68.4%, did not change in 28.9% and worsened in 2.% - Sleep problems improved in 71.4% and worsened in 4.7% - Anxiety improved in 47.1% and worsened in 23.5% - Adverse effects were primarily mild drowsiness and loss of appetite Keep in mind, studies into autism and cannabis have been focused on observational results without a control group. Results were based on reports by parents, which may have been affected by expectations. Trials into autism and cannabis are underway by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the University of San Diego, and New York University’s Langone Health research facility.

Best Ways to Consume Cannabis for Autism

There is a lot of anecdotal evidence to suggest that treating autism with medical cannabis is effective. However, not every method of administration is good for children. For instance, inhalation such as smoking cannabis is not suggested due to the carcinogens present in the smoke. Instead, medical cannabis can be administered in the following ways: - Edibles: Cannabis infused foods and drinks can provide long-lasting effects. While the onset of effects can take between one or two hours, the effects can last for about six to eight hours, a considerable increase compared to other methods of consumption. - Tinctures: Tinctures such as THC and/or CBD oils can be used to infuse foods with cannabis or applied sublingually (under the tongue). Sublingual absorption provides a quicker onset of effects (10 to 15 minutes) since the compounds absorb through mucous membranes under the tongue. - Vaping: Vaping is a less irritating method of consumption compared to smoking cannabis. Vape products produce a cannabis vapor instead of smoke, which can provide a fast onset of effects within minutes. Choosing the best way to administer cannabis can take some time. It is recommended to start with the lowest dose possible (2.5 to 5 mg) of cannabis and gradually build up to the desired effects.

Best Strains for Autism

Several cannabis strains work for autism and its comorbidities. However, a few options stand out as the best marijuana strains that can provide maximum relief for the symptoms of autism. High-CBD strains are recommended to help manage behavioral issues and provide relief for seizures. CBD-rich strains have shown to be beneficial in improving communication and reducing hyperactivity, hypersensitivity, and self-harm behavior. The best cannabis strains to try include the following: 1. Blue Dream This is a sativa dominant hybrid strain that hails from California. It has been labeled as the “aspirin form of cannabis” for its highly therapeutic benefits that make it ideal for everyday use- the marijuana strain to always have in your medicine cabinet. Blue Dream strain is helpful in suppressing pain and the discomfort that comes with autism. 2. Green Crack Green Crack is a sativa dominant hybrid strain with Skunk #1 genetics. It is the ultimate wake-and-bake strain and has been used to combat autism stress and aggression. It also helps to increase focus and has been used to increase concentration in people with autism. 3. LA Confidential This is a strong indica strain that produces total body relaxation when consumed. It has been used to trigger relaxation and reduce social anxiety in patients on the autism spectrum disorder. With a THC of up to 25%, this strain should be consumed in moderation. 4. Afghani Afghani is an indica strain with strong sedative properties. It causes blissful relaxation and can help to relieve autistic aggression, anxiety, and depression. 5. Charlotte’s Web Charlotte’s Web is one of the most popular marijuana strains rich in CBD and low in THC. It has been the go-to strain for treating childhood seizures, and now it is drawing attention as a potential go-to strain for autism. With less than 0.3% THC, it is ideal for children as well as adults with autism. It has potent anxiety-relieving properties and strong calming properties. It can be used to alleviate autism-related aggression. 6. Sour Diesel Sour Diesel is a high-THC, sativa-dominant strain known for its cerebral and energizing effects. Medical cannabis patients have used this strain to help relieve symptoms related to anxiety, stress, depression, and pain. Since people with autism may have issues socializing, Sour Diesel may provide blissful and invigorating effects to improve socialization.

Is Medical Marijuana Safe for Children?

According to CDC reports, 1 in every 59 children in the US is on the autism spectrum disorder. Anecdotal evidence supports the use of cannabis in treating autism symptoms. Mothers Advocating Medical Marijuana for Autism (MAMMA) is an autism-focused advocacy group that advocates for greater accessibility to medical marijuana treatment for people with autism. A couple of patient testimonials can be found on the MAMMA website on the safety and efficacy of marijuana in treating childhood autism. For now, evidence from research is still preliminary. Further research is needed to confirm the safety of medicinal marijuana treatment in children with autism.

Can CBD Oil Help with Aggression Caused by Autism?

Anecdotal evidence has shown that CBD can be used to relieve symptoms of autism, including aggression. CBD has calming and anti-anxiety properties. A few studies investigating the link between marijuana and autism have shown that CBD can indeed reduce aggression related to autism. This brings us to the end of the best strains for autism; let us know if you have tried any and if they have worked for you.
