Is Cannabis Legal in Oklahoma?

Medical

Answer

Oklahoma currently has Medical Marijuana only.  

This means that customers must be licensed medical marijuana patients or caregivers.  There are currently 313,638 active medical marijuana cardholders and 2,322 active caregiver licenses in Oklahoma.

Why this is important

Whether a state has medical or recreational cannabis use and sale allowed is important to any current or prospective cannabis business owner because the status of the cannabis regulations largely impacts the business's consumer base.  In medical only states such as Oklahoma, the consumer pool is limited to medical marijuana registration card holders.  

Once a state allows recreational (adult use) cannabis, the potential consumer base skyrockets to include any adult over 21+.  Oklahoma cannabis business license holders are eagerly awaiting the legalization of recreational (adult use) cannabis in OK.
