HOW TO APPLY FOR YOUR MEDICAL MARIJUANA PATIENT LICENSE IN OKLAHOMA

Woohoo! State Question 788 passed and now you're ready to start your journey to the height of your personal wellbeing, right? Well, before you go skipping off to your nearest dispensary, you'll want to know more about how to apply for your license, the rules and regulations surrounding State Question 788 and the Emergency Provisions for implementation dubbed Chapter 661 that the Oklahoma Department of Health has passed. We're here to help you learn more about patient licensing, what medical marijuana is, and how you can use marijuana with your doctors recommendation to supplement your other treatments.

We've made the guide for applying for your medical marijuana patient license in Oklahoma easy. Just follow these steps below and you'll have your license in no time! The State of Oklahoma asks for a few different pieces of information before you can submit your application. While getting together the information required can be a project, the information that the Oklahoma Department of Health requests is entirely fair and will help create a system that is not abused for Medical Marijuana patients in Oklahoma. The good news is that your license will last for 2 years. The bad news is that you'll (unless changed) have to apply in the same way you did the first time.


STEP 1: EVALUATE YOUR SYMPTOMS & VISIT YOUR PHYSICIAN

The first step in assessing your eligibility for becoming a Medical Marijuana Patient is to visit your healthcare provider and discuss your symptoms. Without a license that your physician recommends, you won't be eligibile to purchase Medical Marijuana in the state of Oklahoma. If ineligible, CBD is still a fantastic option.

STEP 2: ACQUIRE THE OKLAHOMA HEALTH DEPARTMENT ISSUED FORM

Contrary to popular belief, a simple letter from your doctor stating that you qualify to become a Medical Marijuana patient is not all you need to begin purchasing marijuana in Oklahoma. You'll be applying with the Oklahoma Health Department for your Medical Marijuana patient license and providing them with the information they need to make sure you're a qualified patient.
