Colorado vs. Oklahoma medical marijuana card: how they compare
Live near the Colorado–Oklahoma line? You can only get a card in the state where you live, but here's how the two programs compare.
Side by side
| Colorado | Oklahoma | |
|---|---|---|
| First visit online | In person first | Yes |
| State fee | $52 | $100 (plus card processing fee) |
| Card lasts | 1 year (60 days to 1 year for some disabling conditions) | Up to 2 years |
| Patient limit | 2 ounces of usable marijuana (more if the provider documents medical need) | 3 oz on your person, 8 oz at home, 1 oz concentrate, 72 oz edibles, 72 oz topicals |
| Home grow | 6 plants (3 mature), or more if the provider recommends an extended plant count; local rules may limit cultivation | Up to 6 mature plants and 6 seedlings on property you own or have the owner's written permission to use, not visible from the street |
| Recreational | Legal | Not legal |
| Listed conditions | 10 | Provider's discretion |
Residency is what matters
Both programs are for residents. Moving across the line means applying again in your new state — and you can't carry cannabis between them.
