The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) reminds patients to be conscientious consumers:
- Make safe, legal purchases from licensed dispensaries. Visit OMMA Verify to see and search for licensed businesses.
- Check the date on the Certificate of Analysis (COA) for anything you buy at a dispensary and ensure product labels match the COA. Also, check the address of the lab on the COA — all medical marijuana products are required to be tested by a licensed laboratory located in Oklahoma. Talk to your budtender if you have questions or concerns.
- Remember licensed patients can legally possess:
- Up to 3 oz. (84.9 g) of marijuana on their person
- 6 mature marijuana plants and the harvested marijuana
- 6 seedling plants
- 1 oz. (28.3 g) of concentrated marijuana
- 8 oz. (226.4 g) of marijuana in your residence
- 72 oz. (2,037.6 g) of edible marijuana
- 72 oz. of topical marijuana
- Report suspicious commercial activity and/or unsafe products to omma.ok.gov/complaint.
- Store medical marijuana and medical marijuana products properly and out of reach of children and pets.
- Avoid traveling outside state lines with medical marijuana and medical marijuana products. And don't share your medical marijuana or medical marijuana products with any other individual — licensed or not.
- Finally, remember regulated medical marijuana and medical marijuana products are required to be tested for patient safety. OMMA is aware of the presence of unregulated hemp-derived products in Oklahoma that may resemble regulated medical marijuana products. These products are not subject to the same testing, labeling, and seed-to-sale requirements as regulated medical marijuana products and their contents may not be fully known.

Community Conversations will be an informal opportunity for licensees to meet with OMMA’s executive leadership in a small group setting to share feedback, ask questions and address concerns.

One of the top questions patient license applicants ask OMMA involves fixing rejected applications. Here’s how to find rejection reason(s) and fix a rejected application:
Log in to the licensing portal and select your profile. At the bottom, under Application Status, your application will be highlighted in red. There will be two buttons — one says Review, and the other says Cancel Application. Click Review to see the comments that explain the rejection reason(s), and then click Continue. You will then be prompted to fix and resubmit your application. Please keep in mind the processing timeline of 14 business days restarts when an application is resubmitted.
For more information, including how-to videos, checklists, requirements and forms, please visit omma.ok.gov/patients.
OMMA published recently our Fiscal Year 2023 Annual Report — a first for the agency. The report is available to the public alongside OMMA’s Strategic Plan on our new webpage: omma.ok.gov/publications.
OMMA continues tracking bills related to medical marijuana as they move through the legislative process that began in February. For your convenience, OMMA has a dedicated webpage to provide you with updates during legislative session. Visit omma.ok.gov/legislation to see bills related to the industry. Please note this resource is for informational purposes only — it is not an indication that OMMA supports or opposes any legislation.
OMMA continued the next step in the permanent rulemaking process by submitting rulemaking documents to lawmakers.
This submission to Gov. Kevin Stitt and the Legislature contained an agency rule report including a summary of all comments received during the public comment period that closed Feb. 16. In all, OMMA received 187 comments from industry leaders, patients and the public: 162 written comments via our website and 25 verbal comments from a public meeting held Feb. 16.
OMMA considered the comments received, clarified rules and made note for future rulemaking discussions. Visit omma.ok.gov/comment to see the agency rule report. These rules are now eligible for consideration by the Legislature later during the 2024 legislative session. The permanent rules would take effect with Gov. Stitt’s approval later in 2024.
OMMA and other state agencies will be closed Monday, May. 27, for Memorial Day. Even when OMMA is closed, individuals can log in to the licensing portal to apply for or manage any license with OMMA.
