ENID, Okla. — Oklahoma authorities are dealing with 'the Wild West of weed' as they target illegal marijuana grow operations. Mark Woodward, with Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control, gave that assessment while speaking in Enid on Monday , Sept. 18, 2023 . 'California has stricter marijuana laws than Oklahoma,' Woodward said, during a speech before Enid Rotary Club at Stride Bank Center. He was referring to licensing, marketing and distribution of the drug. In California, recreation use of marijuana is legal for adults 21 and older, while medical marijuana is legal for people 18 and up.
