Law Enforcement
Between I-35 through Edmond and I-44 toward Tulsa, people regularly saw cars stopped with trunks open and K-9s at work. The highway’s link to south Texas was thought to explain the attention. Town traffic stops could feel just as strict. One local estimate, given in frustration, put officers under thirty at 99 percent.
One paraphernalia case over a rolling paper was described as a night in jail, around US$2,000 in fines and costs, six weeks each of NA meetings and counselling and at least six months’ probation. Experiences varied and those are historical accounts. See Marijuana Laws for the separate Oklahoma overview.
Where to Buy Marijuana
The local street scene was considered risky. Norman had a more relaxed reputation, and Oklahoma City was the other option people talked about.
Marijuana Prices
- About US$50 for an ounce of decent Mexican brick
- US$400 and up for an ounce of high-end flower through the right contacts
More Information
Plenty of Edmond locals saw it differently. Meth labs and users drew more police attention, and a driver with NORML stickers remembered several stops without a search. Officers could be willing to give an adult a break. That same local had a paraphernalia case end with AA meetings and called it a slap on the wrist.
The figures quoted in that account were closer to US$350 in fines and US$200 in court costs, with meetings and probation. Trafficking or extra charges were treated more seriously. A judge also cut a US$250 parking ticket in half after seeing photos. Edmond wasn’t much of a smoker’s tourist destination. It was still home, and worth sticking up for.
