7 things to know about Oklahoma's medical marijuana program

Oklahoma's medical marijuana program was created by State Question 788 and is run by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA). Unlike most states, Oklahoma has no list of qualifying conditions: any Oklahoma-registered physician in good standing can sign a recommendation if they judge cannabis appropriate for the patient. Adults need one signed recommendation form; minors need two. Patients apply online through the OMMA MedPortal with ID, proof of residency, a photo and the physician form. A standard license costs $100 and lasts up to two years, with a $20 rate for Medicaid, Medicare and 100% disabled veteran patients. Licensed patients may grow up to six mature and six seedling plants at home.
