Just in: @GovMaryFallin says NO special session will be called to address #sq788, which legalized medical marijuana Tuesday.

@HealthyOklahoma will create emergency rules to implement, but this removes the potential for #okleg (this year, anyway) to severely rollback the new law
This likely was a smart political decision for #okleg Republican incumbents who still have to face a run-off or general election challenge.

Even the perception of undermining the law could've caused major blowback when pro-marijuana voters head back to the polls
One of the biggest changes that #okleg could've made in a special session would be restricting those eligible for medical marijuana to those with a set of "qualifying conditions" #SQ788
A possibility for #okleg in a special session would be to reconsider the bill from Sen Yen (R) that would've restricted medical patients who were terminally ill or had 4 specific serious illnesses.

Perhaps foreshadowing what would happen if this occurred, Yen was voted out Tues
With a special session to address #sq788 now off the table, it's on the Dept. of Health to craft the emergency rules to implement the new #medicalmarijuana law.

Here's a look at those proposed rules: documentcloud.org/documents/4551…
