What Happens if a Physician Determines You No Longer Need Medical Marijuana in Oklahoma?
What happens if a physician determines that you are no longer in need of medical marijuana use? Ope Adegbuyi, a medical marijuana business lawyer in Oklahoma, explains that if a physician determines that your continued use of medical marijuana no longer meets the requirements set forth by the OMMA (Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority), your license will be immediately voided without the right to an individual proceeding. This means that your ability to use medical marijuana is contingent upon the prescription from your doctor. Once your doctor determines you no longer need the prescription, your license will be immediately deactivated and voided, with no option for appeal.
