Hey, OMMA-licensed business owners. I’m Katrina Lucas, and I’m a Tulsa medical marijuana attorney with Wirth Law Office. Let’s talk about litigation and how much it costs to defend your license from an OMMA revocation. A revocation will come through as a finding, a fee issue, or some other violation, and it will arrive as a petition from OMMA. It will go before an administrative law court, and we’ll go through all the typical phases of litigation. We’re going to go through discovery, motions, and communication patterns. This isn’t as in-depth of a procedure as you would see in civil litigation—it’s more akin to a criminal situation where we’re going to ask discovery questions but not fight about them as much. Anyone who’s done normal litigation knows that discovery can be one of the slowest and most expensive parts of the process.

Growers Using Wells: How SB 133 Will Restrict Your Groundwater Use
Katrina K. Lucas, Esq, 
Hey, Oklahoma medical marijuana business owners. Those of you who are using groundwater, like wells, or are in rural counties that have groundwater rights—this bill, Senate Bill 133, is going to require businesses that have an OMMA license to submit that license to the Oklahoma Water Resources Board in order to use that water for their grow. This is an overextension. This is not something that is normal. It is not something that I expected to see. This would create violations if you didn’t submit it to the Oklahoma Rural Water Board. It could also create other issues with the Oklahoma Water Board because this usually involves water usage and EPA-type rules. This rule could spiral into some other challenges. Right now, it is just a submittal requirement, but the approval or acknowledgment process—and how it’s documented—is still left up in the air, which is, of course, never fun for any OMMA business. If you are using underground water, be aware of this rule. If it does pass, I’ll let you know. This is Katrina Lucas with Wirth Law Office in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Stay safe, stay legal.

As an Oklahoma medical marijuana attorney, I want to make sure all licensed patients and business owners are informed about Senate Bill 518.

SB 39 Update: Medical Marijuana Patient Gun Rights
Katrina K. Lucas, Esq, 
Hey, Oklahoma medical marijuana licensed patients. I’m Katrina Lucas, and I’m a Tulsa medical marijuana attorney with Wirth Law Office. The other day I talked about Senate Bill 39 and firearms and your rights—the fact that the state legislature was going to approve the ability to have medical marijuana cards and not have a de facto removal of the ability to purchase a weapon. That has now laid dormant in the House and doesn’t look like it’s going to go forward this legislative session. I’m not impressed with the legislature on that, but that is where it is right now. I promise any updates to come as soon as I have them. So stay safe, stay legal. This is Katrina Lucas, and I’m a Tulsa medical marijuana attorney with Wirth Law Office in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

What Is Oklahoma SB 264?
Ope Adegbuyi, Esq. 
SB 264 is an important act in Oklahoma that medical marijuana businesses need to be aware of. As a medical marijuana business attorney, I can provide insight into what this act entails. One key provision of SB 264 is the authorization of the OMMA to create a petty cash fund. Additionally, the act establishes application and remittance fees for medical marijuana processors. Another noteworthy aspect is the implementation of a secret shopper program, allowing the OMMA to ensure dispensaries are in compliance with the law. This program is beneficial for cardholders as it guarantees businesses are operating within the regulations set by the OMMA. Furthermore, existing medical marijuana commercial growers must inform their suppliers and electric companies of their licensed status within 30 days. For more information on SB 264 and its implications, feel free to reach out to me at OklahomaMedicalMarijuana.Attorney.
What Is Oklahoma SB 15X?
Ope Adegbuyi, Esq. 
SB 15X, a budget bill in Oklahoma, has caused quite a stir within the medical marijuana industry. As a medical marijuana lawyer in Tulsa, I’ve witnessed the impact it has had on small businesses. This bill increases the annual registration fee for manufacturers of controlled substances, including medical marijuana grow operations, from $500 to $2,500 – a 400% increase. While Oklahoma’s cannabis industry remains affordable, this significant fee hike poses a challenge for small businesses operating on narrow profit margins. Striking a balance between reasonable fees and regulatory needs is crucial for supporting the growth and stability of existing small cannabis businesses.
