How to Sign Up for Medical Marijuana in Oklahoma

Medical marijuana has hit Oklahoma, part of the wave of cannabis legalization victories that is currently sweeping the country. However, before one can access the new medical marijuana market in the state, an official medical card is required. We have all of the information you need to efficiently sign up for your in-state medical marijuana card before your first trip to an Oklahoma City cannabis dispensary.

Physician Recommendation

The first thing you need in order to access Oklahoma City cannabis dispensaries is a physician recommendation. A number of licensed physicians in Oklahoma offer convenient means of receiving your physician recommendation, including many which provide services that are completely online. You may also be required to show that you have a qualifying condition, like chronic pain.

Your physician will likely have physician recommendation forms on hand, but you can also print out a copy from the official Oklahoma government website and fill it out at home. You’ll likely be charged a modest fee for your consultation, on top of the fee required to submit your application to the government.

Required Documentation

Before you sign up for your medical marijuana card in Oklahoma, you’ll need the proper documentation. This includes your physician recommendation form, a government-issued ID, and some proof of residency, a requirement which may also be satisfied by ID. You’ll also need to bring along a digital photo that meets certain requirements which will be used on your medical marijuana card.

The cost of your application will be 100 dollars included with your documentation, or 20 dollars if you have a valid Medicaid, Medicare or Disabled Veteran Status enrollment. Once you have all of these things handy, the next step is to visit the official Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority webpage and fill out the form.

How to Sign Up for Your OK Medical Marijuana Card

On the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority website, scroll down to the section labeled “Patient License Renewals.” If you are applying for the first time, simply click “Apply Now,” or if you are applying for license renewal, proceed by clicking the “Returning Applicants” button. You will then be taken to a page where you can register an account or login if you have already signed up with OMMA. A valid email address is required to sign up.
Eventually, you’ll receive a verification email to your address which will take you through with a confirmed account to the application page. From there, it’s as simple as filling out your details and providing the documentation. You’ll need to scan your documents, as the entire process is carried out through their online portal. Be sure to have a credit or debit card handy so you can pay before you submit the application for processing. Within around two weeks, you’ll receive your medical marijuana card in the mail, allowing you access to Oklahoma City cannabis dispensaries.
