A. The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority shall make available on its website in an easy-to-find location an application for a medical marijuana commercial grower license. The application fee shall be paid by the applicant in the amounts provided for in Section 427.14 of this title. A method of payment for the application fee shall be provided on the website of the Authority. The Authority shall have ninety (90) business days to review the application; approve, reject, or deny the application; and send the approval, rejection, or denial letter stating the reasons for the rejection or denial to the applicant in the same method the application was submitted to the Authority.
B. The Authority shall approve all applications which meet the following criteria:
1. The applicant must be twenty-five (25) years of age or older;
2. The applicant, if applying as an individual, must show residency in this state;
3. All applying entities must show that all members, managers, and board members are Oklahoma residents;
4. An applying entity may show ownership of non-Oklahoma residents, but that percentage ownership may not exceed twenty-five percent (25%);
5. All applying individuals or entities must be registered to conduct business in this state; and
6. All applicants must disclose all ownership interests in the commercial grower operation.
Applicants with a nonviolent felony conviction in the last two (2) years, any other felony conviction in the last five (5) years, inmates in the custody of the Department of Corrections or any person currently incarcerated shall not qualify for a commercial grower license.
C. A licensed medical marijuana commercial grower may sell marijuana to a licensed medical marijuana dispensary or a licensed medical marijuana processor. Further, sales by a licensed medical marijuana commercial grower shall be considered wholesale sales and shall not be subject to taxation. Under no circumstances may a licensed medical marijuana commercial grower sell marijuana directly to a licensed medical marijuana patient or licensed medical marijuana caregiver. A licensed medical marijuana commercial grower may only sell at the wholesale level to a licensed medical marijuana dispensary, a licensed medical marijuana commercial grower or a licensed medical marijuana processor. If the federal government lifts restrictions on buying and selling marijuana between states, then a licensed medical marijuana commercial grower would be allowed to sell and buy marijuana wholesale from, or to, an out-of-state wholesale provider. A licensed medical marijuana commercial grower shall be required to complete a monthly yield and sales report to the Authority. This report shall be due on the fifteenth of each month and provide reporting on the previous month. This report shall detail the amount of marijuana harvested in pounds, the amount of drying or dried marijuana on hand, the amount of marijuana sold to licensed processors in pounds, the amount of waste in pounds, and the amount of marijuana sold to licensed medical marijuana dispensaries in pounds. Additionally, this report shall show total wholesale sales in dollars. The Authority shall have oversight and auditing responsibilities to ensure that all marijuana being grown by licensed medical marijuana commercial growers is accounted for.
D. There shall be no limits on how much marijuana a licensed medical marijuana commercial grower can grow.
E. Beginning on November 1, 2021, licensed medical marijuana commercial growers shall be authorized to package and sell pre-rolled marijuana to licensed medical marijuana dispensaries. The products described in this subsection shall contain only the ground parts of the marijuana plant and shall not include marijuana concentrates or derivatives. The total net weight of each pre-roll packaged and sold by licensed medical marijuana commercial growers shall not exceed one (1) gram. These products must be tested, packaged and labeled in accordance with Oklahoma law and rules promulgated by the Authority.
