Oklahoma Cannabis Market At-A-Glance

Overall Rating: B+
Oklahoma has the most dispensaries per capita than in any other legalized state. OK legalized medical marijuana in 2018 with no licensing caps. The House passed a bill in March 2021 that will limit the number of cannabis licenses starting September 2021 to September 2023. If the bill is passed in the Senate, a licensing cap for medical marijuana operations will go into effect in Oklahoma.
