A measure to address medical marijuana diversion in Oklahoma has been signed off by Governor Kevin Stitt.

Oklahoma implemented an easily accessible medical marijuana program after voters passed State Question 788 in June 2018 legalising the licensed use, sale, and cultivation of marijuana for medicinal purposes. There are currently are more than 382,000 patients registered for the program, over 8,000 growers, approximately 2,300 dispensaries and 1,529 processors across the state.

Like any program, it has its faults and weaknesses that some seek to exploit. One  is a loophole enabling a cardholder patient to buy medical marijuana products legally, but then re-sell it to someone without a card – and if caught, only face an administrative fine.
