How to get an Oklahoma medical marijuana card
So, how do you get approved for medical marijuana in Oklahoma? Overall it is actually a relatively easy process. In the past, the process seemed nearly impossible, and you had to have a terminal illness or jump through hoops and go to the doctor multiple times to get certified. But recently, Oklahoma enhanced their program and has removed all of the barriers to getting a card so now it very safe and simple
The first step is to book an appointment with a doctor to get evaluated and approved for medical marijuana. The cost to be evaluated and approved by the doctor is $200. Separate from that, after being approved, you apply to the state (the fee is $100 for a card that’s good for TWO years), and your card comes in the mail in two weeks. So, in total it will cost you $300: $200 for the doctor and $100 to the state. There is a reduced fee for patients receiving Medicare or SoonerCare.
Once you have your card in hand, you can start shopping at the dispensaries. Sound simple enough? Well, it is! Let’s break down some of the steps.
