Legal limitations for cardholders

  • Oklahoma’s medical marijuana program was established in 2019 with the passage of HB 26126. Medical cannabis patients can possess up to 8 ounces of cannabis at their residence, up to 3 ounces of cannabis on their person, up to 1 ounce of cannabis concentrate, and up to 72 ounces of edible marijuana.
  • Under Oklahoma medical marijuana law, patients with a card have the right to:
    • Enroll in school without rejection based only on cardholder status.
    • Rent an apartment without eviction or refusal based solely on patient status.
    • Work at their place of employment without discrimination for having a card or testing positive for marijuana.
    • Receive healthcare without disqualification merely due to the medical use of marijuana.
    • Visit or have custody of their child without denial based on patient status.
    • Hold a state-issued license without suspension on the sole basis of cardholder status.

However, an Oklahoma medical marijuana patient identification card does not necessarily give you the right to:

    • Use or possess marijuana at your place of employment without recourse.
    • Work, live, or learn somewhere that could face loss of a monetary or licensing benefit under federal law due to your patient status. Those in some federal jobs may find that their patient status clashes with federal laws. This exception also applies to those who require a commercial driver’s license.
    • Sell or distribute marijuana to others without a commercial medical cannabis license.
    • Own a firearm — many states prohibit those with a medical marijuana card from owning a weapon.
  • Recreational cannabis remains illegal.
  • Delta-8, delta-10, and other minor cannabinoids manufactured from hemp-derived CBD are permitted in the state under federal law.
  • Telemedicine is allowed for medical marijuana certification in Oklahoma. This means that you can use Leafwell to get certified online.

How to become a caregiver in Oklahoma

Caregiver licenses are available to family members or assistants who regularly look after a medical marijuana patient for whom they are applying to be a caregiver. It allows the caregiver to buy, transport, possess, and administer medical marijuana or medical marijuana products to licensed medical cannabis patients.

Minor patient information

Minors (anyone under 18) must have caregivers apply to the program on their behalf.

Minor medical marijuana patients will also require parent/legal guardian consent.

Can I use my Oklahoma medical cannabis card in other states?

Oklahoma supports an unusual form of reciprocity, allowing visiting licensed patients to access medical cannabis when in the state. According to state law, residents living in another state with a valid MMJ license in their home state may apply for a temporary license to “buy, use, and grow” medical marijuana from an Oklahoma dispensary.

The medical marijuana certificate and MMJ card will be valid for 30 days and cannot exceed the expiration of the out-of-state MMJ card. Visitors can renew their Oklahoma MMJ license every 30 days.

Several other states also practice medical marijuana reciprocity and will recognize an Oklahoma medical marijuana card. The following states will accept or recognize the out-of-state medical card of an Oklahoma resident:

  • Arizona
  • Arkansas *
  • Delaware
  • Hawaii *
  • Louisiana
  • Maine
  • Michigan (at the dispensary’s discretion)
    Nevada
  • New Hampshire
  • New Jersey *
  • New Mexico
  • Oklahoma *
  • Puerto Rico
  • Rhode Island
  • U.S. Virgin Islands *
  • Utah * (up to two 21-day periods in a calendar year)
  • Washington, D.C.

*Visitors must complete a visiting patient application with the state program.
