In Oklahoma, a lifeline exists for those grappling with debilitating health conditions—medical marijuana. Yet, access to this treatment hinges on securing an Oklahoma medical marijuana card – a license currently held by nearly 10% of the state’s population, accounting for over 400,000 Oklahomans.
Obtaining this coveted card, however, requires a recommendation letter from a licensed physician and subsequent registration with the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA). Given the complex nature of this state registration, it can be a little perplexing. That’s why we’ve put together a concise, step-by-step guide to assist in navigating the OMMA patient registration portal.
Once the application is sent, the OMMA takes over, reverting with either an approval or a denial within two weeks. This article will elucidate the entire process, preparing you for each step.
