OMMA promulgated emergency rules to implement House Bill 2807 from the 2025 legislative session. Permanent rules will go into place in 2026.
Pre-packaging requirements were initially added to 63 O.S. § 431.1 of state statute by House Bill 3361 (2024) and amended by House Bill 2807 (2025). The emergency rules provide clarity regarding which products must be pre-packaged and provide a grace period for dispensaries to sell or waste remaining deli-style inventory. Please visit omma.ok.gov/prepack for more information and FAQs surrounding pre-pack.
In addition, the emergency rules amend language needed for Oklahoma to secure FBI approval of the national fingerprint-based background check for medical marijuana licensees and also allow commercial transporter licensees to use warehouse locations to temporarily store medical marijuana and medical marijuana products. OMMA is working on the internal processes necessary to implement the warehousing portion of the emergency rules. OMMA will send separate communications as soon as those processes are complete. In the meantime, please contact OMMA using our contact form to discuss obtaining a warehouse permit.
