An OMMA-registered physician can recommend medical marijuana for an Oklahoma patient license — and certify a free caregiver license when a patient is homebound.
Oklahoma's program is run by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA). There's no list of qualifying conditions; your physician decides.
Required since Jan. 1, 2026. Telehealth can help homebound patients.
The physician also certifies whether a caregiver is needed. Apply within 30 days.
$104.30, or $22.50 with a qualifying reduced-fee status.
OMMA typically reviews applications in about two weeks.

Voters rejected adult-use legalization (State Question 820) in 2023, and the State Question 837 petition fell short of the ballot in 2025. A patient or caregiver license is required to buy from a dispensary.
In April 2026, state-licensed medical marijuana moved from Schedule I to Schedule III. It's still a federally controlled substance, and federal rules still apply on federal property.
Jenks has licensed medical dispensaries near downtown Main Street and along South Elm Street. Dispensaries open and close often in Oklahoma, so confirm a store's license is active before you go — and caregivers, bring your caregiver license and photo ID.
Look up licensed businesses through the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority.
Jenks calls itself the Antique Capital of Oklahoma — a slow stroll down Main Street is a favorite outing.

Nothing. OMMA charges no application fee for caregiver licenses.
An adult patient can have one licensed caregiver at a time. For minor patients, up to two parents or legal guardians may hold caregiver licenses when a physician certifies the need.
No. Per OMMA's Caregiver Designation Form, a caregiver can't possess or purchase medical marijuana on the patient's behalf until their own caregiver license is approved.
No. Oklahoma has no qualifying-condition list; an OMMA-registered physician decides whether a recommendation is appropriate.

Jenks sits on the Arkansas River just south of Tulsa. It's known as the Antique Capital of Oklahoma, home to the Oklahoma Aquarium, and a close-knit community where many families care for aging parents at home. Jenks residents follow the same statewide rules as every patient in Oklahoma's medical marijuana program.
Oklahoma voters approved medical marijuana through State Question 788 in 2018. The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority licenses patients, caregivers, and businesses, and registers recommending physicians.
Store medical marijuana securely, never drive impaired, and remember that marijuana remains a federally controlled substance. See OMMA for current rules.
