Eligibility
Qualifying conditions for a medical marijuana card in Oklahoma
Oklahoma has no fixed list of qualifying conditions. If you're an adult Oklahoma resident, an OMMA-registered physician reviews your health history and decides whether medical marijuana is appropriate for you.

The rules
How a physician decides if you qualify
Most states make you match a condition on a short list. Oklahoma is different. State Question 788, approved by voters in June 2018, leaves the decision to the physician. That's why patients come to us with very different health needs.
To apply, you need to be 18 or older, prove you live in Oklahoma, and have a signed Adult Patient Physician Recommendation Form. Minors need two physicians and a parent or guardian.
What the research says
A 2017 review by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine found conclusive or substantial evidence that cannabis or cannabinoids help with chronic pain in adults, nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy, and muscle spasms reported by people with multiple sclerosis. For many other conditions the evidence is limited, so talk through the risks and benefits with the physician.

Questions
Oklahoma medical marijuana eligibility FAQs
Still unsure? Email contact@oklahomacannabiscard.com or use the chat.
Does Oklahoma have a list of qualifying conditions?
No. State Question 788 doesn't list qualifying conditions. A physician registered with OMMA decides whether to recommend medical marijuana, using the same standards a careful physician would use for any treatment.
Can minors get a medical marijuana card?
Yes, with two physicians' signatures on the minor recommendation form, signed within 30 days of each other, and a parent or legal guardian on the application. Minors can't smoke or vape unless both physicians agree it's medically necessary.
What if the physician doesn't recommend medical marijuana?
You get a full refund of your evaluation fee. You can also ask your regular doctor about other treatment options.
