AI Summary
This bill proposes several changes to Oklahoma's medical marijuana patient and caregiver licensing system. Key provisions include:
- Updating measurements from ounces to grams for possession limits of marijuana, concentrated marijuana, and edible marijuana.
- Eliminating the temporary medical marijuana licensing option and authorizing non-residents to apply for medical marijuana patient licenses, which will be valid for up to 2 years.
- Specifying that the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority, rather than the State Department of Health, will oversee the application and licensing process.
- Allowing counties and cities to enact guidelines that exceed the state's possession limits for licensed medical marijuana patients and caregivers.
