Public consumption of medical marijuana is prohibited statewide under Oklahoma's Q788 framework, including smoking, vaping, or eating edibles in any public place, vehicle, or location where tobacco smoking is restricted.
Oklahoma legalized medical cannabis through State Question 788 in 2018, creating one of the most patient-accessible programs in the country with over 350,000 license holders. However, OK §63-426 prohibits consumption in public places, including streets, parks, restaurants, transit, and any indoor space where tobacco smoking is banned. Oklahoma City enforces these state restrictions through OKCPD, with violations treated as misdemeanors. Recreational cannabis remains illegal after Q820 failed in March 2023. Driving under the influence of cannabis is a serious DUI offense.
Smoking or consuming cannabis in public, in vehicles, or driving impaired triggers state misdemeanor charges, fines up to $400, and license review by OMMA.
