Cannabinoids are known to adhere to a scientific phenomenon called the biphasic effect, meaning low and high doses of a cannabinoid can produce opposite effects. For example, people may react differently to different doses of medical cannabis or a medical cannabis product. The graphic below is a visual representation of the biphasic effect.

The public comment period on OMMA’s proposed new rules closes Feb. 16. Visit omma.ok.gov/comment to review and comment on the proposed rules by 5 p.m. Feb. 16.

You may also comment in person at a public hearing 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 16, in Room 535 of the Oklahoma State Capitol (2300 N Lincoln Blvd. in Oklahoma City). It will be livestreamed and recorded on the Oklahoma State Senate website. Anyone who wishes to speak must sign in at the door by 9:05 a.m.

OMMA will consider the feedback received during the public comment period and submit rule documents to the Legislature for consideration during the 2024 regular legislative session. The permanent rules would take effect later in 2024 after approval by the Legislature and the Governor, at which point they will be posted at omma.ok.gov/rules.

Oklahoma’s annual legislative session began Feb. 5 and will conclude by 5 p.m. May 31.

The Legislature considers hundreds of bills every year, some of which are relevant to OMMA and the medical marijuana industry. Now is the time to reach out to your legislator and share your experience or feedback regarding bills that are important to you — it’s still very early in the legislative process.

For your convenience, OMMA has a dedicated webpage with legislative updates. Visit omma.ok.gov/legislation to see bills related to the industry. Please note this resource is for informational purposes only — it’s not exhaustive and isn’t an indication that OMMA supports or opposes any legislation.

Complaints about medical marijuana businesses are reviewed by OMMA’s Compliance Department. Compliance inspectors and/or law enforcement officers may follow up on complaints for further investigation.

Visit omma.ok.gov/complaint to use the OMMA Business Complaint form. You may remain anonymous if you want. Please provide as much information as possible. Complaints are reviewed in the order received, but threats to public health and safety are prioritized.
