Grower License

NOTE: A moratorium began Aug. 26, 2022, for new dispensary, grower and processor licenses. HB 3208 (2022), passed by the Oklahoma Legislature and signed by the Governor, put the moratorium in place. HB 2095 (2023), also passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, extended the moratorium end date to Aug. 1, 2026, unless OMMA's Executive Director determines all pending licensing reviews, inspections or investigations are complete. The moratorium does not affect current licensees, who can apply for renewal.

Overview

A medical marijuana grower license allows a business to legally grow marijuana for medical purposes in Oklahoma. Licensed growers can only sell to licensed processors, dispensaries and other growers.

Grower licenses are in the form of a license certificate. Licensed growers must comply with Title 63 O.S. § 420 et seq. and the Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) 442:10. Licenses are valid for one year.

Licenses are available for Oklahoma residents who are at least 25 years old. Applicants must provide documents establishing the applicant; and the members, managers, and board members, if applicable; and 75% of the commercial applicant's ownership interests are Oklahoma residents as required in the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana and Patient Protection Act, 63 O.S. § 427.1 et seq.

Owners and officers must pass a background check. Growers must ensure their property line is not within 1,000 feet of the property line of a public or private school.

A transporter license is issued simultaneously with approved grower licenses. The transporter license allows the licensee, through its licensed transporter agents, to transport their own medical marijuana and medical marijuana products to another licensed business. Anyone driving a transportation vehicle must have a transporter license and transporter agent license identification card.

OMMA processes commercial license applications within 90 business days.

Other restrictions and requirements apply. See the Commercial Application Checklist, our FAQs and our rules for more information.

Surety Bond

Grower license applicants must submit proof of one of the following to OMMA:

• A surety bond for at least $50,000 per license; or

• Proof that the licensee has owned the licensed premises for at least 5 years.

Grower licensees submitting renewal applications and applicants for new grow licenses must submit this documentation as part of their application. OMMA will verify the bond or proof of land ownership during the review process of a new or renewal license application.
