Oklahoma cannabis law

Registered medical marijuana patients in Oklahoma have specific possession limits they must adhere to:

• 3 ounces (84.9 grams) of marijuana on their person.
• 6 mature marijuana plants, along with the harvested marijuana from these plants.
• 6 seedling plants.
• 1 ounce (28.3 grams) of concentrated marijuana.
• 8 ounces (226.4 grams) of marijuana in their residence.
• 72 ounces (2,037.6 grams) of edible marijuana.
• 72 ounces of topical marijuana.

It’s essential to be aware of these limits and comply with them to avoid any legal issues. Unauthorized possession of marijuana is considered an offense under Oklahoma state law.

Patients in Oklahoma with an MMJ license have the privilege to cultivate up to six mature cannabis plants and six seedlings, as permitted by state law. This allowance extends to caregivers who can manage the cultivation on behalf of patients below 18 years old.

However, several regulations must be observed:

• The cultivation of marijuana must occur on real property owned by the patient or with written permission from the property owner.
• It should not be visible from any adjacent street.
• Using hazardous materials or equipment in residential areas is prohibited.

Adhering to these regulations is essential for safe and legal cultivation.

Becoming a medical cannabis caregiver in Oklahoma involves meeting certain criteria and obtaining a caregiver license. These licenses allow family members or assistants to buy, transport, possess and administer medical cannabis to licensed patients whom they regularly care for, regardless of their age. 

Here are the key points to keep in mind:

• Caregivers can assist up to five licensed patients. Licensed adult patients may have only one designated licensed caregiver, while licensed minor patients have the option to have up to two designated licensed caregivers, depending on age.
• A physician’s recommendation form is essential to certify the need for a caregiver.
• Both the caregiver and the patient must sign a completed Caregiver Designation Form to establish the patient-caregiver relationship.
• Caregiver licenses are valid for up to two years, or until the associated licensed patient’s license expires, whichever comes first.
• Caregivers must be at least 18 years old and provide proof of residency, identity, and patient designation.
• Caregivers are not required to pay an application fee in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma recognizes the potential benefits of medical cannabis for veterans dealing with various health conditions and has established specific guidelines to facilitate their access to medical cannabis as an alternative treatment option. Here are the key pieces of information and rules concerning medical cannabis use for veterans in Oklahoma:

1. Legal Compliance: Veterans, like all medical cannabis patients, must adhere to Oklahoma state laws and regulations governing qualifying conditions, cannabis possession, transportation, and usage. Staying informed about current laws and any updates is crucial to ensure continued access to medical cannabis.
2. Federal Considerations: It’s essential to understand that cannabis remains classified as a Schedule I controlled substance at the federal level, despite its acceptance in some states. As a result, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare providers are restricted from recommending or prescribing medical cannabis. However, veterans have the option to seek healthcare services outside the VA system to obtain a physician’s recommendation for medical cannabis.
3. Affordability and Discounts: Oklahoma provides special considerations for patients who qualify for specific statuses, such as veterans. Veterans with 100% disability status may be eligible for reduced state registration fees, which can be as low as $20 along with a $2.50 credit card processing fee. Moreover, some dispensaries and medical cannabis programs extend exclusive discounts or financial assistance to veterans, recognizing their service and healthcare needs. Veterans are encouraged to inquire about such programs and discounts to enhance the affordability of medical cannabis.
