Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution, which authorizes the medical use of marijuana in Missouri, does not reference or prohibit the possession or purchase of firearms. However, federal law still may prohibit the possession or purchase of a firearm by individuals who use marijuana, regardless of whether a state has legalized marijuana for medical use. The Department of Health and Senior Services does not regulate the possession or purchase of firearms and therefore cannot say how the federal prohibition will be enforced within Missouri. Specific questions about these federal firearm restrictions should be directed to your attorney or the appropriate law enforcement agency.

In contrast to most states with valid medical marijuana programs in the United States, the Oklahoma program does not identify a specific list of qualifying conditions. A physician may certify a patient if they are convinced that the use of medical marijuana will be an appropriate treatment for that patient’s particular medical condition.

The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) is currently overseeing the entirety of the state’s medical marijuana program. This includes all applications related to patients, caregivers, growers, processors, transporters and dispensaries.
