Inside Oklahoma’s Booming Marijuana Industry
Inside Oklahoma’s Booming Marijuana Industry
Ease of access and fewer regulations than competing states have made Oklahoma the home of more than 2,000 marijuana dispensaries. The state agency tasked with regulating the industry is struggling, telling NBC News they’ve only been able to inspect a quarter of the more than 9,000 licensed farms.

Leave it be free only tax it a little
"All it took to start was 2500 to start"….Not even close,thats just the state fee to grow alone..
And the OMMA is so far behind it’ll never catch up…
And there are exorbitant costs that rack up monthly as well just getting and staying up to code…Its not as easy as people think…You can’t just move here with 5k and be set…So dont….
You’re looking at 50k minimum to be seed to counter after initial start up and costs(for a decent sized grow)..And that’s not even a big grow like Carter Creek or Vice Farms…
Those dudes got acres and millions invested…
The weed in grown inside while your food is grown outside exposed to everything.
Tokelahoma…lel
Hmu I’m in Texas lol I need some e
Youd have to smoke every 2 hours to even enjoy living in dumpfuc oklahoma such a depressing and dull state. Michigan bud is 10x better and cheaper
and I’m the Only Hound 🥸🕷️🦀🎏🐯
Something just doesn’t sound right when he said there are less than 3000 dispensaries and thats more than CA.
Been smoking weed in Oklahoma since 2020 and I loooove it. It’s cheap af to live here and plenty of weed
Marijuana helps me sleep at night.
Grow Pot not Food…Smart.
This https://youtu.be/RgRrFDIrym0 is what happened
Medmen offering trademark franchising. Marijuana will still sell good during wartime. Buy as much stock as you can. MMNFF
All the beautiful bud!!!
The people who arrested made the prison complex billions of dollars are now in charge of marijuana how racist can that be . People of color are disenfranchised systematically so they can’t become mom-and-pop operators
keeping people stoned is not a virtue
Peace For All Weed Grower 💨🌱
People, stop f moving here. You had your f chance. Don’t come take my mfkn job. Leave!!!! You did not grow up here, go away.
Lololololol higher taxes is all they ever say
,. . . And I had to move for a job from Oklahoma to Florida!
My timing has never been stellar.
Biden is a stooge holding up federal legalization.
Biden is dictator thug!!!!
Illegal marijuana from Mexico and taxes are hurting the California industry. Makes sense they moved there.
Why are they trying to convince you that red states don’t like cannabis? Errbody like gettin high .
"Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain. And the wavin’ Kush can sure smell lush when the wind comes right behind the rain."
I didn’t know Oklahoma legalized the devils lettuce..
Legalize federally!
Kansas plz!!!!!!! Wake up and legalize the plant!!!!!!!!!
Jersey is lackin .
One thing they don’t mention for Oklahoma’s massive cannabis market is the fact that Oklahoma is super strict and draconian if you get caught with weed without a medical card. They have the highest number of citizens with a medical card per capita.
🖕⛑️
SMOKELAHOMA!!!!!
strange how all these red states that imprisoned their people for years over weed, are now all blue when it comes to the loot.
The stock market is still a fantastic tool for building wealth, however, so it’s wise to consider investing even if you don’t have much money to spare
ps everyone who talks about oklahoma forget they have three licenses there is the medical card basic permissions, the the growers license which is only 500 which means you have permission to sell to dispensarys the the handlers license for 2500 which give you permission to open a dispensary not including zoning property etc.. also wanted to point out some states accept medical marijuana licenses from different states NBC C- reporting guys
It’s a plant way to easy to grow at home. How about we just free the market like it’s always claimed to be free😉. It’s only legal if we can make money off you😂😂
I wish the federal government would legalize medical cannabis so Medicare would cover it and I could finally get some relief from my chronic pain.
Way to go Oklahoma. Time to push for recreational use and help end one of the biggest lies in our history. The states in the south eastern block should take notice of the jobs and tax revenue the industry brings. They could definitely use the education about this plant.
And how many minorities have licenses?
Weed shouldn’t be the price it is with how much they make should be cheaper and normal taxes
Texas needs to follow!
Something interesting about Oklahoma cannabis dispensaries is that they don’t tend to "cure" their buds. So don’t expect the best of flavors or highest quality of product here.
Awesome 👍🏿👍🏻
High yo!!!!!!
my question, what happens to all those peoples incarcerated from possession of Marijuana when now its made legal? are then set free or are they made to serve out their sentencing despite its legalization?
USA USA USA USA
Hipocrits now it’s legal because they collecting tax .before it bad now all the sudden it is good for health.
They better leave it the way it is if they want it to work. Tax it like Colorado, California and Illinois etc. and the legal market will fail like it is in those states.
It’s a tomato industry, the boom will eventually go bust as there will be tremendous oversupply of this easy to grow plant.
Arizona already blew that billion dollar cap off first year. We ain’t worried but no stinking put in! LOL 🤣 let’s send him a key! 🤣 Jim BCC AZ
Majority of my coworkers here in Ok are high on the job. Its not good if people are high at work! I support weed, but just not on the job.
