An OMMA-registered physician can recommend medical marijuana for an Oklahoma patient license. 100% disabled veterans pay just $22.50 for a two-year license.
Oklahoma's medical marijuana program is run by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA). There's no list of qualifying conditions; your physician decides.
Since Jan. 1, 2026, recommending physicians must be registered with OMMA.
The physician signs OMMA's form. Apply within 30 days of its date.
Upload ID, proof of Oklahoma residency, a photo, and any reduced-fee proof.
OMMA typically reviews applications in about two weeks. Licenses last two years.

OMMA's fee for 100% disabled veterans, instead of $104.30. Upload proof of your disability rating with your application.
Watch this space: in May 2026 the U.S. House voted to let VA clinicians help veterans with state program paperwork, but as of this writing we couldn't confirm it has become law. Ask your VA care team about current policy. Still serving in the Guard or Reserve? Military drug policy applies regardless of state law.
