Is First Offense of Possession of Marijuana in Oklahoma a Felony?

Is first offense, simple possession of marijuana in Oklahoma, a felony again? I'm Tulsa attorney James Wirth, and the answer to that question is yes, for some people. So let me give you a little bit of the background. So the laws in Oklahoma and elsewhere regarding controlled and dangerous substances, they have five different schedules for lists of drugs going from the more serious to the less serious, Schedule 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Marijuana is listed at Schedule 1 at the federal level, the state level and at the Muskogee (Creek) Nation tribal level. However, in Oklahoma, although initially marijuana was a felony, it was removed from the level of being a felony decades ago and had been prosecuted as a first offense for a misdemeanor. However, more recently with State Question 780, all controlled and dangerous substances in Oklahoma for first offenses became misdemeanors. And that's the way that it's been for the last couple of years. And then with State Question 788, medicinal cannabis was legalized and regulated in Oklahoma. So as long as you have your medical marijuana card, you can visit a... I'm sorry, three ounces of marijuana on your person or eight ounces at your home. And you can grow yourself, at home, a maximum of six mature plants and six seedlings. So what has changed recently? Well, the United States Supreme Court decision in McGirt found that most of Tulsa County and much of the surrounding counties in Northeast, Oklahoma are Muskogee (Creek) Nation reservation land.
