Medical marijuana; decreasing weight amount of marijuana for aggravated trafficking offense; effective date.
HB 1163 lowers the weight threshold for "aggravated trafficking" of marijuana in Oklahoma from 1,000 pounds to 25 pounds. This means possessing 25 pounds or more of marijuana would now trigger the more severe aggravated trafficking penalties, rather than the standard trafficking penalties. The bill directly affects individuals convicted of large-scale marijuana offenses, potentially increasing penalties for lower quantities. It amends Oklahoma’s Illegal Drugs Act (63 O.S. 2021, Section 420) by changing the weight specifications in subsection C(1)(b) for marijuana trafficking offenses. The change applies to all marijuana possession cases meeting this new threshold, not just medical marijuana.
