Commercial Licenses
Quick Links
Overview
Welcome to the Commercial Licensing webpage! Here you will find information on each commercial license type, information about employee credentialing and more.
Licensing Portal
The Thentia licensing portal is a software platform that allows users to apply for and renew OMMA licenses and check the status of their applications. You can sign in to your account or create a new one if this is your first application with OMMA. The Thentia licensing portal also offers users several self-service options like fixing a rejected application, submitting change requests, surrendering a license and much more.
Commercial License Types
OMMA processes commercial license applications within 90 business days, excluding state holidays. Licenses are valid for one year from the date issued unless the license is revoked by OMMA. For information on renewal time frames and ownership transfers, visit our dedicated webpage.
Grower: A medical marijuana grower license allows a business to legally grow marijuana for medical purposes in Oklahoma. Licensed growers can only sell to licensed processors, dispensaries and other growers.
Processor: A medical marijuana processor license allows a business to legally process marijuana for medical purposes in Oklahoma. Licensed processors can sell to licensed dispensaries and other licensed processors. Licensed processors may also process marijuana into a concentrated form for a patient license holder for a fee.
Dispensary: A medical marijuana dispensary license allows a business to legally sell medical marijuana and medical marijuana products, including mature plants and seedlings. Licensed dispensaries can only sell to other licensed dispensaries or patient license holders, caregiver license holders, research license holders, and the parent or legal guardian named on a minor patient’s license.
Transporter: A medical marijuana commercial transporter license is a stand-alone license allowing the licensee, through its licensed transporter agents, to transport medical marijuana and medical marijuana products between other licensed businesses. Transporter licensees may not grow, process or sell their own medical marijuana — only transport other licensed businesses’ products.
Transporter Agent: A medical marijuana commercial transporter agent license is required for agents, employees, officers, or owners of a commercial transporter, grower, processor, or dispensary to transport medical marijuana, medical marijuana concentrate, or medical marijuana products. Transporter agent licenses allow a business holding a transporter license to transport medical marijuana and medical marijuana products to other commercial licensees via its transporter agents.
Testing Laboratory: A testing laboratory license allows a laboratory testing facility to analyze harvested and processed medical marijuana for the presence of harmful contaminants. Licensed labs may charge fees to other commercial licensees for compliance testing.
Waste Disposal Facility: A medical marijuana waste disposal facility license authorizes the licensee to dispose of medical marijuana. The waste disposal facility license also authorizes licensees to transport medical marijuana waste. Once licenses are granted, licensed entities may apply for waste disposal facility permits for additional locations.
Research: A research facility license authorizes the licensee to grow, cultivate, possess, and transfer medical marijuana to other licensed research facilities and licensed testing laboratories, by sale or donation, for the limited research purposes approved in the application.
Education: An education facility license authorizes the licensee to provide training and education to people involving the cultivation, growing, harvesting, curing, preparing, packaging or testing of medical marijuana, or the production, manufacture, extraction, processing, packaging or creation of medical-marijuana-infused products or medical marijuana products for the limited education and research purposes approved in the application.
Employee Credentialing
Oklahoma requires employees of licensed medical marijuana businesses to apply for and receive a credential. The credential authorizes the employee to work at a licensed medical marijuana business.
Seed-to-Sale Tracking
State law requires OMMA-licensed businesses to use the statewide seed-to-sale inventory system to track all medical marijuana and medical marijuana products grown, processed, transported, tested, sold or disposed of within the state. OMMA uses Metrc for the statewide seed-to-sale inventory tracking system. All OMMA-licensed businesses must be fully Metrc-compliant.
Getting Started and Training
The owner or key administrator of each commercial license is required to take Metrc’s New Business class to become credentialed in Metrc.
Licensees can use the Metrc scheduler to sign up for New Business training, offered each weekday. The class is also offered on demand through Metrc Learn in your Metrc account.
When you complete the training, reach out to Metrc’s Support team to get credentialed.
Support and Help
Contact Metrc first for all issues related to Metrc. Metrc will contact OMMA on your behalf if they need help resolving an issue for your account. Call the Metrc Call Center at 877-566-6506 or send an email to support@metrc.com. OMMA prepared a Metrc Users' Guide to help with basic information and common errors.
Inspections & Compliance
OMMA is responsible for conducting an annual compliance inspection and an annual audit for every licensed business. Below, you’ll find inspection forms, resources and checklists.

Checklists
OMMA created a Commercial Application Checklist with detailed information on the items you will need to provide for the online application. If OMMA approves your commercial license, there are still a few more steps to take before your business is fully compliant with all relevant state laws and regulations. Our Post-Approval Checklist can help you finish everything else.
