TULSA, Okla. (AP) - The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority has removed the
addresses of growers and processors from its online commercial license database
after industry advocates expressed concern that the information would make them
targets of crime.
The
authority had published the addresses of dispensaries, growers and processors
on its website Oct. 31 in response to multiple Open Records Act requests.
Oklahomans for Health was one of the advocacy groups upset over the decision,
because licensees hadn't previously been notified, The Tulsa World reported .
"Because of the value of the product, it makes them very accessible to theft and security risks," said Chip Paul, a board member of Oklahomans for Health.
