Frequently Asked Questions

The Oklahoma medical marijuana authority has one of the least restrictive medical marijuana programs in the nation, requiring only that applicants be 18 years or older with a board-certified physician’s signature and proof of residency.

Exceptional circumstances may be allowed for minors if applicants receive two physician recommendations and the applicant’s parent or guardian’s signature of severe conditions causing chronic pain. We connect you with OMMA doctors online to help you get your Oklahoma medical marijuana card.

Yes. The Oklahoma medical marijuana program provides a temporary adult patient license for medical marijuana that allows a person with a valid medical marijuana license from another state to legally buy, use, and grow medical marijuana in Oklahoma. 

That depends on the state you visit; some states accept out-of-state MMJ cards while others do not. We recommend checking local medical cannabis rules and regulations before traveling and using your Oklahoma medical marijuana card.

For home-growing cannabis, you will need a state medical marijuana card and must abide by the state’s legal limits of six mature at a time. Also, you must either own the property or have permission from the owner to grow on it, and the cannabis plants cannot be visible to the public.

According to Oklahoma’s medical marijuana industry, these are the rules regarding public consumption of marijuana:

  • Medical marijuana card holders can consume marijuana in their homes but not in public places.
  • Oklahoma residents with a medical marijuana license can drive with the marijuana in their cars, as long as they do not cross state lines or use it while driving. 
  • Even without a card, a person found with an ounce and a half or less of medical cannabis could be looking at a fine of 400 USD.
  • Billboard advertising for dispensaries is permitted.

Medical marijuana laws require all qualified residents to obtain a patient certification with the state before being allowed medical marijuana use.
Patient ID card Requirements are as follows: 
  • Oklahoma medical marijuana patients must be 18 or older to visit a medical marijuana dispensary.
  • Only those who can prove Oklahoma residency can apply for medical marijuana treatment via Oklahoma’s medical marijuana program (valid Oklahoma driver’s license, Government ID, utility bill)
  • An Oklahoma resident must also have a medical history showing a diagnosis that qualifies a doctor to recommend them as a patient who can legally obtain medical marijuana. Also, you should have a physician recommendation form to get MMJ treatment.

Individuals may qualify for a medical card in Oklahoma if diagnosed with any of the following by a licensed provider:

  • HIV or AIDS
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
  • Cancer
  • Cachexia (wasting syndrome)
  • Persistent nausea that is not significantly responsive to treatment
    • Excludes nausea caused by pregnancy or herbal therapy-induced cyclic vomiting
  • Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
  • Epilepsy or other debilitating seizure disorders
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) or persistent, debilitating muscle spasms
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with:
    • VA diagnosis documented in medical records, or
    • Evaluation by a psychiatrist, licensed psychologist, clinical social worker, or psychiatric APRN
  • Autism spectrum disorder
  • Terminal illness with a life expectancy of under six months
  • Conditions qualifying for hospice care
  • Rare diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 individuals in the U.S. that are not adequately managed with conventional (non-opioid) treatments
  • Persistent pain lasting longer than two weeks and not relieved by traditional treatments (excluding opioids)
  • Acute pain is expected to last for two or more weeks, such as post-surgical recovery

Oklahoma does not currently offer same-day approval for medical marijuana cards. Once you submit your completed application, the OMMA has up to 14 business days to review and process it. If your application is approved, your card will be printed and mailed shortly after, usually within a couple of business days. While some clinics may provide same-day evaluations or “fast-track” paperwork, the state’s review period cannot legally be expedited. Most patients receive their approval and card within 2 to 3 weeks from submission.

Yes, you must provide a valid form of identification such as an Oklahoma driver’s license, state-issued ID, or U.S. passport when applying for a medical marijuana card. Proof of Oklahoma residency is also required, typically in the form of a recent utility bill, lease, or other official document showing your address. Nonresidents are not eligible for a standard Oklahoma MMJ card but can apply for a temporary out-of-state patient license if they already hold a valid medical marijuana card from another state.

Your Oklahoma medical marijuana card is valid only within the state. However, a few other states with medical programs offer reciprocity, allowing Oklahoma cardholders to purchase or possess cannabis while visiting. Acceptance varies by state, some, like New Mexico and Maine, may recognize out-of-state cards, while others do not. Always check local laws before traveling with medical cannabis. Similarly, nonresidents visiting Oklahoma can apply for a temporary 30-day medical marijuana license if they have a valid MMJ card from another state.

Renewing your Oklahoma medical marijuana card is simple with LeafyDoc. You can start your renewal online by booking a quick telehealth appointment with one of our licensed Oklahoma physicians. During your evaluation, the doctor will review your health condition and issue a new recommendation, which is required by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) for every renewal.

Once you receive your updated recommendation, log in to your OMMA account and submit your renewal application. Be sure to include your physician’s certification and valid photo ID.

Renewals are typically processed within 14 business days, and your new card will be mailed shortly after approval. To prevent any lapse in your access, LeafyDoc recommends renewing at least 30 days before your card expires.
