During the consultation, the doctor will review your medical records and ask you a few questions. The goal is to determine whether you are a viable candidate for MMJ.
To begin your online application, go to the state of Oklahoma’s MMJ Patient website. If any required documents are missing from the application, you will be notified via email. Unless revoked by the OMMA, your card is valid for two years.
Assume the application is denied due to unmet requirements. In that case, you will receive a denial letter in the mail within 14 days of submitting your application.
After you have submitted your application and paid the fees, OMMA will review it. If you are approved, you will receive an approval letter in the mail within 14 days of submitting your application. You will also receive your valid MMJ card, which will allow you to purchase medical marijuana from Oklahoma dispensaries. Dispensaries will be spread out across the state. With your card, you can visit any dispensary in Oklahoma.

For those who qualify (and can provide proof of enrollment in) Medicaid (SoonerCare) or Medicare *, reduced-fee applications are available for $20.
[All application fees MUST be paid with a Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit or debit card. If you don’t have a credit or debit card, go to a store that sells prepaid Visa or MasterCards and get one there.]

While much progress has been made in the field of medical marijuana since 2018, the sale of any marijuana that has not been prescribed and sold by a licensed medical dispensary is strictly prohibited.
Buying Marijuana at Retail Location
If you live in Oklahoma, the only way to legally smoke marijuana is to obtain an approved medical marijuana card and visit a valid medical marijuana dispensary. Oklahoma has over 7,000 medical dispensaries, with new ones opening every month.
Marijuana Delivery Service
Oklahoma’s government has repeatedly prohibited the delivery of marijuana in any capacity. Nonetheless, there have been numerous attempts to approve delivery. However, no laws in Oklahoma currently permit delivery service.
Oklahoma Dispensary Hours
In Oklahoma, no laws have been enacted to truly affect the operating hours of medical dispensaries. Most dispensaries, on the other hand, operate during normal business hours, typically opening at 8:00 a.m. and closing around 10:00 p.m.
Purchase Restrictions
There are no purchasing restrictions for medical marijuana implemented by the Oklahoma State Department of Health or the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority. That being said, there are possession limits in Oklahoma stating that medical marijuana users cannot possess more than three ounces on their person or more than eight ounces in their private residence.
Yes. However, you must obtain the signatures of two physicians on a separate form. Additional information about the patient must also be provided by a parent or legal guardian.
Patients must also provide valid/documented information about why they require a caregiver. The patient fills out an application for caregiver designation. The OMMA must issue this person with an MMJ caregiver license. Once approved, a caregiver can grow cannabis in their home or purchase it on your behalf.
The state registration fee is reduced to $20 for those who can show proof of Medicare Enrollment, SoonerCare, Medicaid or are an 100% disabled use veteran.

Before telemedicine services can be provided, the patient must provide written consent, which must be obtained by a physician who has physical contact with the patient. However, there are some restrictions on where you can go. Telemedicine coverage is limited to rural areas or areas with a scarcity of local medical expertise.
Telemedicine is legal in Oklahoma for pharmacologic management, mental health assessments, psychiatric diagnostic exams, office visits, and consultations. If the provider believes that the service is appropriate for telemedicine delivery. ECG interpretation, telepathology, and teleradiology are among the services provided.

No. Doctors must hold a valid license to practice medicine in Oklahoma and register with the Department of Health in order to certify patients for a medical marijuana card. All of our doctors here at My Marijuana Cards are registered with the state and demonstrate the knowledge and compassion necessary to give you the highest possible quality of care.
Caregivers provide a service for medical marijuana patients (including those under 18) who cannot or do not wish to go to a dispensary to purchase their medical marijuana. A caregiver is able to purchase medical marijuana on behalf of the patient as well as help administer the medication. Caregivers are only appointed by patients and must be 21 years or older and register with the state as a caregiver.
The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority registry is open and can be accessed here. The application fee is $100 for patients. Caregiver applications are free. If you’re having trouble getting registered, you can contact us at 1(877)783-1805 for assistance 7 days per week.

No one will be able to find out your status as a medical marijuana patient unless you openly tell them or if you are administered a drug test for marijuana.
Yes. With Oklahoma being an at-will state and there not currently being any legislation in place that protects medical marijuana patients in the workplace, medical cardholders can still be administered drug screenings and receive disciplinary action regarding the results of drug screenings. For this reason, we recommend making sure you are fully aware of your employer’s policy regarding drug screenings and medical marijuana before moving forward with the process.
Oklahoma does not have any restrictions regarding patients on probation or parole, however, you must get permission from your probation or parole officer first before pursuing a medical marijuana card.
As a legal medical marijuana patient, you are protected. Patients do not have to disclose that they possess medical marijuana and do not have to consent to a search. However, if a search is conducted and medical marijuana is found, the patient should immediately present their patient ID card or direct law enforcement to the medical marijuana patient registry to show that they are a legal patient.
Yes. Patients interested in using a medical marijuana card from another state while in Oklahoma will have to apply for a temporary adult license through OMMA. The application is $100 and if accepted, will allow patients to purchase medical marijuana from Oklahoma dispensaries for 30 days.
Yes, there are multiple states currently accepting Oklahoma medical cards. The laws for using out-of-state medical cards vary from state to state, so the best way to find out is by contacting a dispensary in the state you’re interested in visiting.
