Who holds the authority to approve medical marijuana licenses?
Under the provisions of SQ 788, the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) is tasked with overseeing the state’s medical marijuana program. To fulfill this role, OSDH established the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA), responsible for receiving and evaluating all medical marijuana licensing applications. In 2022, Senate Bill 1543 designated OMMA as an independent state agency, reinforcing its authority.
