Welcome to the Patient and Caregiver Licenses webpage! Here you will find resources for physicians recommending medical marijuana to patients. 

Patients must provide a signed Physician Recommendation Form from an authorized physician with their patient license application. Depending on the patient’s age, they will need either an Adult Patient or Minor Patient Physician Recommendation Form. You can find both below in the Resources section of this webpage. 

Recommending physicians are authorized by law to terminate the license of a patient who no longer meets the requirements for the continued use of medical marijuana. Recommending physicians who wish to terminate a patient’s license must complete the Physician Termination of Patient License Form.  

To sign a Physician Recommendation Form, a physician must:

• Be in good standing with the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision, the State Board of Osteopathic Examiners, or the State Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners;
• Use accepted standards a reasonable and prudent physician would follow when recommending any medication to a patient; and
• Not be located at the same physical address of a dispensary (including virtual appointments with patients who are at a dispensary).

• Physician Recommendation Form (Adult Patient)
• Physician Recommendation Form (Minor Patient)
• Physician Termination of Patient License Form

In 2018, Oklahoma voters approved medical marijuana through the passage of State Question 788. The law allows qualifying patients to purchase and use medical marijuana from a licensed dispensary if certain criteria are met. Patients must provide a recommendation form signed by a qualified physician.
