The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority is now distributing many supporting documentation forms for medical marijuana patients. While the patient application form, itself, is not available until August 25th, many of the supporting documents are available for patients planning a trip to their clinician. The rules state that the patient application must be submitted within 30 days of attaining a physician's recommendation. The Board of Health indicated that physicians need to be registered in the MMA database of recommending physicians prior to making these patient recommendations. The OMMA set up an online process of registering as an Oklahoma board certified physician. The key document is not yet online. that document is the application of the patient. It may be that some legal matters have required the Board of Health to revise the rules before that application sets in motion the process of getting the license. The Health department could issue mm licenses today, but they indicated that they will delay until they must issue (which is August 25th) |
