Since around Labor Day, patients with a state license have been cleared to treat their health conditions with Cannabis medicines. That card has kept them from facing prosecution for possessing small amounts of the state's newest 'old medicine'. |
The obstacles that a grower, processor, or dispensary must overcome.
| Sage Farms in Glenpool, grew tomatoes before they started a cannabis crop. Now, the typical wholesale seems to be $2400 per lb. They can tell you what the market price would be, if Cannabis was treated like tomatoes. It would definitely be under $2000/lb. The patients in Oklahoma do, however; have a very unique option to keep & grow their own personal medicine. This is the saving grace for thousands who cannot afford the $400-500 per ounce that many are expecting to pay at a dispensary. Many of those patients are now seeing their first legal plants prepping for harvest. If a patient is successful, that's just enough to treat a chronic pain sufferer with enough to get along, and maybe store a little bit, in case a few plants die early. |
