Health Dept Reports Medical Marijuana Applications Rate of 465/hr.

8/25/2018

The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA), a division of the Oklahoma Health Dept., reported nearly 1000 applications were submitted, in the first 2 hours, saturday morning.

As of noon, we have received 569 patient, 2 caregiver, 122 dispensary, 194 grower and 42 processor applications

The OMMA's twitter feed became the top source of clarification for patients and other interested Oklahomans who still don't quite understand the latest versions of the emergency rules.

Here's just a little of what response the OMMA got from one of their rare posts...

  Do you need a grower license in addition to a patient license if you plan to grow for personal use?

  No. Patient license gives you the right to personal grow within the limits set forth in SQ 788.

  So I heard you will need both sides of a state Id ? I only sent the front, any way to go back in to add the back?

  I made the same mistake. OMMA responded to my email and told me I have to wait for a rejection before I can correct my error.

  What's the estimated rate at which applications are being approved? I am hearing about people already getting emails of approval.

  They are just working through a few to test the process. Full work on approval will begin in earnest on Monday.

Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic. I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem
