OKLAHOMA, LENIENT & RELAXED CANNABIS
Oklahoma has a relatively lenient attitude towards cannabis compared to many other states in the United States. In 2018, the state passed a medical cannabis program, allowing patients with a qualifying medical condition to access medical cannabis products with a recommendation from a licensed physician.
The medical cannabis program in Oklahoma has been successful, and as of 2022, over 200,000 patients have registered to participate in the program. Medical cannabis products are available in dispensaries across the state, and patients are able to access a variety of products, including flower, edibles, concentrates, and topicals.
Despite the success of the medical cannabis program, recreational cannabis remains illegal in Oklahoma. However, the state has a relatively low enforcement priority for cannabis offenses, and it is not uncommon for people to consume cannabis in private without facing any legal consequences.
The political landscape in Oklahoma regarding cannabis is also rapidly changing. In recent years, there have been several efforts to legalize recreational cannabis, and there is growing support for the legalization of cannabis in the state. Many people believe that legalization would create jobs, generate tax revenue, and help to reduce the harm associated with the black market.
While recreational cannabis remains illegal in Oklahoma, the state has a relatively relaxed attitude towards cannabis and is making progress towards legalization. The success of the medical cannabis program and the growing support for legalization suggest that Oklahoma may soon become one of the next states to legalize cannabis for recreational use. However, it is important to note that until then, possession, use and sale of cannabis is still illegal and can result in serious legal consequences.
