Yeah this is what people not here don't understand.

I lived in Los Angeles for ten years and moved to OKC.

There are more dispensaries in OKC alone then I saw in all of SoCal, it's that dense. And now the mushroom lobbying is going in full force. Alcohol laws went from strict like Utah to very liberal in the span of a decade. It's about 5 years away from being less than 50% white people as a population. Even the abortion ban drama was short-lived--Oklahoma's state supreme court struck down all the anti-abortion legislation less than a year after Stitt signed it. They jacked around and brought back an older law, but it will eventually get reviewed again, most likely. More than half the state is in favor of legal abortion, which will eventually be reflected.
