Medical marijuana is legal in Oklahoma. Voters approved State Question 788 in June 2018, and the Legislature built the rules around it. If you hold a valid card from the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA), buying from a licensed dispensary is fully lawful under state law.

What’s still illegal

  • Recreational (non-medical) use. SQ 820 failed in 2023; Oklahoma remains medical-only.
  • Buying without a card. Dispensaries check for a valid card at the door.
  • Public consumption, and driving impaired (see DUI rules).

How to buy legally

  1. Get an OMMA card — $100, valid two years, any condition.
  2. Find a licensed shop near you in the directory.
  3. Bring your card and a matching photo ID.

Visiting from out of state? You can get a 30-day temporary license using your home-state medical card.
