Oklahoma does not have a specified list of qualifying medical conditions. Ultimately, any chronic or debilitating medical condition will be approved. Most of them fall under the following categories:

Chronic Pain, Severe Nausea, Epilepsy, Terminal illness, Spasticity, Muscle Spasms, Glaucoma, Inflammation, Cachexia and Wasting Syndrome, Cancer, Neuropathic Pain Disorders, HIV/AIDS, Crohn’s, Disease, Anorexia

‍

The first step is to obtain a medical marijuana recommendation from a licensed OK physician provided by FadeMD that is registered with the state of Oklahoma to treat patients for medical cannabis.

Once you are approved and receive your medical marijuana certification, you will need to simply register with the state of Oklahoma’s Medical Marijuana Authority online here.

Click the “Apply Now” button at the bot to create an account and submit the necessary documentation.

Once you are approved by the state of Oklahoma, your ID card will be mailed directly to you.

In Oklahoma, a caregiver must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the state, verified by providing a current Oklahoma driver's license or state identification card. Additionally, the caregiver must have documentation proving they are designated by the state-registered patient to assist them.

There is no application fee for caregiver licenses. Caregiver licenses are valid up to the expiration date of the associated patient’s license. The caregiver requirements are as follows:

• Digital copy of proof of Oklahoma residency
• Digital copy of proof of identity
• A clear, color, full-face digital photograph valid for use in U.S. passports
• Submitted appropriate Patient Caregiver Designation Form signed by the patient

Minor patients can designate up to two authorized caregivers, who must be parents or legal guardians.

To renew your Oklahoma medical marijuana card through FadeMD, schedule a renewal appointment with one of our physicians. They will verify your ongoing need for medical cannabis and guide you through the renewal process. We will remind you when your renewal appointment is approaching, or you can contact our Customer Service Department for assistance and to apply a renewal discount.

A medical marijuana card in Oklahoma is valid for two years. There are also short-term cards that are good for 60 days.

In Oklahoma, only patients, their designated caregivers, and authorized cannabis researchers registered with the OMMA and holding a valid registry identification card can legally possess medical marijuana. They are permitted to possess the following amounts:

• Up to three ounces (85 grams) of usable cannabis
• Up to one ounce (28.35 grams) of cannabis concentrates
• Up to 72 ounces (2.04 kilograms) of edible products in public
• Up to eight ounces (227 grams) of cannabis at home

Patients who choose to cultivate their own cannabis can grow up to six mature plants and six seedlings. Alternatively, they can designate a caregiver to grow the cannabis plants on their behalf. Qualified patients are allowed to cultivate a total of twelve plants, with no more than six mature plants at any given time.

The Justice Department proposed a new rule to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug, which would ease federal restrictions on cannabis if approved. This reclassification would not legalize or decriminalize marijuana nationwide but would place it on the same regulatory level as ketamine and anabolic steroids. Currently, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning it has "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse." The proposed change would recognize marijuana as having "a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence."

The proposal initiates a months-long comment and administrative period before any changes take effect. This follows President Biden's 2022 request for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Justice Department to review marijuana's classification. HHS found credible scientific evidence supporting marijuana's medical use. The notice of proposed rulemaking reflects the attorney general's agreement with HHS's recommendation. President Biden hailed the move as "monumental," emphasizing marijuana policy as a priority of his administration, which has also worked to pardon those convicted of simple possession.
