Superior Buds is one of three dispensaries in this small town along historic Route 66 on Tuesday, July 27, 2021 in Bristow, Okla. | RJ Sangosti/The Denver Post via APThe world’s wildest weed market — which at its peak had nearly 14,000 licensed medical marijuana businesses — has been steadily shrinking since Oklahoma voters overwhelmingly rejected a recreational legalization referendum in March.

Chris Moe, a medical marijuana patient and advocate widely known as “Uncle Grumpy,” thinks the bloodletting will be even more severe: 80 percent of businesses, he predicts, will be gone by the one-year anniversary of the failed referendum.The only people who don’t want the industry shrunk are those who know they’re going to lose everything.”
“Many people in the marijuana industry didn’t do their due diligence and they should have known better,” Fetgatter said. “If you start a business, you should know all the guidelines.” Weed businesses are feeling the blowback, too. Travis Smith, co-founder of Oklahoma City cultivator Smokey Okies, said the company’s garbage contractor recently announced that it will no longer work with weed businesses. The reason provided: frustration with cannabis companies routinely over-stuffing dumpsters in order to save money and not paying their bills.
