Proposed Oklahoma Bill Seeks to Criminalize Medical Marijuana Use for Pregnant Women
January 31st, 2025
A recently proposed Oklahoma bill, HB 3954, aims to classify medical marijuana use during pregnancy as child endangerment, making it a felony offense. This legislation raises significant legal and ethical concerns, particularly regarding the role of the government in regulating private healthcare decisions.
Attorney Jarrod Stevenson, who has represented clients in cases similar to State of Oklahoma v. Moreau, has voiced strong concerns about the bill’s implications.
"This is yet another instance of government intrusion into the doctor-patient relationship," Stevenson stated. "It singles out women while failing to consider the medical necessity of treatment, making it inherently unfair."
