Oklahoma
TLDR
Oklahoma has one of the most permissive medical marijuana and hemp markets in the nation — Delta-8, THCA, and smokable hemp all legal. However, severe market oversaturation led to a licensing moratorium through 2028 and a 2,550 grower cap. Recreational legalization failed at the ballot in 2023 and the 2026 initiative missed its filing deadline.
