Seed to Sale, Compliant with OMMA regulations

Regulatory Framework

The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) is the state agency responsible for *"processing commercial and patient license applications, providing customer service to licensees and applicants, facilitating the rulemaking process based on state statutes, enforcing its rules, investigating possible violations of medical marijuana laws, and more." OMMA was previously under the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) until November 2022, when it became an independent agency [1].

The Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry (ODAFF) has limited involvement in the medical marijuana program, but is the lead agency on licensing and regulating hemp cultivation [2].

Legal Status

Market Status
Adult-Use Illegal
Medical Legal
Homegrow Legal with a medical marijuana license

State Question 788, passed in a 2018 voter referendum, legalized medical cannabis [15]. Recreational marijuana remains illegal in Oklahoma. [3] Possession of small amounts (less than 1 ounce of flower or 6 grams of concentrate) is a misdemeanor, while possession of larger amounts or within 1,000 feet of certain locations can be a felony. [4]

Track-and-Trace

Since September 2020, Metrc has been the statewide seed-to-sale inventory tracking system used by all OMMA licensees to monitor and track cannabis movement from cultivation to sale. [5] [6]

Licensing

OMMA has specific types and processes for licensing both patients and commercial businesses. [7] [8] However in 2023, Oklahoma lawmakers extended a moratorium on new cannabis business licenses until August 2026. [9]
