To get your medical cannabis card in Oklahoma, you’ll need three things:
Before you can get your medical cannabis card application started, you’ll need to schedule a visit with your doctor. During your appointment with your bona fide physician, you’ll need to request that your doctor fills out and signs the physician portion of the Office of Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) form.
During your visit, your doctor will confirm your identity, assess your medical need for cannabis, and complete the physician portion of the physician recommendation form.
My Virtual Physician is able to establish a patient-physician relationship between you and one of our Oklahoma-licensed doctors. Once this is established, you can request a physician certification from us to get your medical marijuana patient license. To get started, fill out our online application to get your card.
After your visit, you’ll have the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) approved form. Within 30 days of your visit, you’ll need to submit your medical cannabis card application to the state of Oklahoma for review and processing. We’ll cover that in step #2.
With your physician recommendation form in hand, your next move is to initiate the application process with the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA). Before opening a new application, review this application checklist to make sure you’ve got all required documents.
When ready, apply online on the government website through the portal. Detailed instructions are provided in the application demo videos at the bottom of the page. Here, you’ll be able to start a new application and upload your documents, including:
You’ll also be able to make your state registration payment for your card inside the portal and check the status of your application once it has been submitted.

The second payment goes to the state with your online application. Oklahoma currently charges $100 plus $4.30 card processing fees. Reduced fees ($20) are available to those who are enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, or SoonerCare.
So, the total cost of getting a medical cannabis card in Oklahoma can be under $220.
