Minor (In-State)
What is a medical marijuana minor patient license?
A medical marijuana minor patient license allows an Oklahoma resident under the age of 18 to legally possess, use and grow medical marijuana and medical marijuana products in Oklahoma.
A minor patient license holder is not authorized to smoke or vaporize any medical marijuana or medical marijuana products, unless both recommending physicians agree it is medically necessary. Minors are not prohibited from using nebulizers or other aerosolized medical devices.
The license is in the form of an identification card. The card contains the minor patient’s name, photo, date of birth, city and county of residence, the type of license, date of expiration, and the minor patient’s unique medical marijuana license number.
The online application system will ask for parent/legal guardian information along with the minor’s information. Please note that licensed minor patients cannot enter a dispensary without a parent or legal guardian.
Can parents or guardians get caregiver application for a minor?
The name of the parent/legal guardian who signs the minor’s application will be placed on the minor’s temporary patient license so the parent/legal guardian can buy medical marijuana for the minor.
The caregiver license allows someone to help a homebound patient with the purchase, application, and administration of medical marijuana. A caregiver license is available to designated caregivers of any homebound patient. Only patients whose physician certifies a medical need for a caregiver may have a licensed caregiver. The status of the applicant as a minor, on its own, does not qualify the applicant for a caregiver. For more information, visit the caregiver license section of our main patient licensing page.
How long does a minor patient license last?
A minor patient license is valid for two years from the date it is issued (or 60 days from the date it is issued for short-term licenses), or until the patient turns 18, whichever happens first. Licenses are also subject to revocation by the recommending physicians or OMMA.
