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.

Several Oklahoma-licensed physicians may use other states’ lists of qualifying conditions as a viable metric when determining whether a patient would benefit from the use of medical marijuana for a specific condition, although determination is at the discretion of the physician.

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.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health updates the status of the medical marijuana program as new information becomes available. Up to date information can be found by checking omma.ok.gov/contact, or calling (405) 271-2266.

In order to be approved for medical marijuana in Oklahoma, you must obtain a physician’s signature on the official OMMA form stating that the doctor recommends medical marijuana for you. We will process this for you after your appointment.

Medical documentation is not necessarily required prior to your appointment. However, the doctor may request medical documentation after reviewing your medical questionnaire and patient file prior to, during, or after your appointment.
