The bill amends Section 420 of the Oklahoma Statutes regarding medical marijuana purchases and patient and caregiver licenses. It introduces a new provision that limits the amount of marijuana a licensed patient can purchase to no more than two and one-half (2.5) ounces or seventy and nine-tenths (70.9) grams within a one-week period. Additionally, it modifies the existing possession limits by allowing patients to possess up to seventy-two (72) ounces of topical marijuana, while removing the previous language that allowed possession of marijuana in a residence.

The bill also outlines the establishment of the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority, which will oversee the application process for medical marijuana licenses, including patient, caregiver, dispensary, grower, and processor licenses. It specifies the fees for various licenses, the duration of their validity, and the requirements for applicants, including residency proof and age restrictions. The Authority is tasked with ensuring the privacy of applicants and providing a method for verifying the authenticity of medical marijuana licenses. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
