In the summer of 2018, Oklahoma voters approved by a 57 percent majority to have medical cannabis. It was one of the few things liberals and conservatives wanted. But the problem was the state hadn’t anticipated for it to pass so they didn’t have a contigency transition plan to deal with what would come next.
Over time, many cannabis stores have popped up all over the area. Despite that crap on Tulsa King, it would be difficult for one hole-in-the-wall business to become so successful. But around 2019-2020, this sign started appearing in the Tahlequah area at the intersection of Muskogee Avenue and the Okla. Hwy 51 spur bypass.
Maybe it was Covid or maybe it was a business deal that never materialized, but this sign still remains to advertise as 2026 is here. Yet there’s still no Dankery. Several cannabis businesses have come and gone.
I guess in the overall grand timeline of the universe, “soon” is a very vague term. Remember how Carl Sagan said if the universe was created on a calendar schedule as of Jan. 1, human civilizations wouldn’t have been around until Dec. 31. Either there was a payment computer glitch or the failed business has become one of the quirks the power that be think can make the town so darn interesting.
