All physicians OMMA-registered and SB 1066 compliant
If you’re an Oklahoma medical marijuana patient or thinking about getting your card, there’s an important law you need to know about. Senate Bill 1066 changed how doctors can recommend medical marijuana in Oklahoma. It took effect on January 1, 2026. And if your doctor isn’t following the new rules, your OMMA application could be rejected.
Don’t worry. We’ll break it all down in plain English, so you know exactly what’s different, what it means for you, and what to do next.
All Okie MMJ Doctor physicians are fully registered with OMMA and have completed the required medical marijuana education under SB 1066. Your recommendation from us will be accepted by OMMA.
What Is SB 1066?
SB 1066 is an Oklahoma state law that was passed in 2025. It added new requirements for doctors who want to recommend medical marijuana to patients.
Before this law, any licensed Oklahoma physician could sign a medical marijuana recommendation form. There were no extra steps. No special training. No registration with OMMA.
Now, starting January 1, 2026, doctors must do two things before they can recommend medical marijuana:
Complete Approved Medical Marijuana Education
This is a specialized course about cannabis medicine. OMMA worked with the State Board of Medical Licensure, the Board of Osteopathic Examiners, and the Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners to create a list of approved courses.
Register With OMMA
After finishing their education, doctors must submit a registration form to OMMA and wait for official approval. A submitted application does not count. They must be fully approved before they can sign any recommendations.
If a doctor has not completed both steps, they cannot legally recommend medical marijuana. Any recommendation they sign will not be accepted by OMMA. Your application will be rejected.
Why Does This Matter to You?
This law was designed to make sure that doctors recommending medical marijuana actually understand how it works. That’s a good thing for patients.
But it also means you need to be careful about where you get your recommendation. If you use a doctor who isn’t registered with OMMA, your application will be denied. You’ll lose time. And you may have to pay for another doctor visit to get a valid recommendation.
Here's what can go wrong:
- ❌ You visit a doctor who hasn’t completed the required education yet
- ❌ You get a recommendation from a doctor who submitted their registration but hasn’t been approved
- ❌ You use an out-of-state telehealth service that doesn’t verify their doctors are OMMA-registered
- ❌ Your doctor is located at the same address as a dispensary (this is also not allowed)
How to Check If Your Doctor Is OMMA-Registered
OMMA publishes a Voluntary Registered Physicians List on their website. You can find it on the OMMA Physicians page. This list includes doctors who have completed their education, registered with OMMA, and given permission to be listed publicly.
Important: Not all registered doctors appear on this list. Some choose not to be listed publicly. If your doctor isn’t on the list, that doesn’t mean they aren’t registered. OMMA recommends you ask your doctor directly to confirm their registration status.
Or you can skip the guesswork entirely and use a service like Okie MMJ Doctor, where all physicians are verified OMMA-registered and SB 1066 compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions About SB 1066
What is SB 1066?
SB 1066 is an Oklahoma law that took effect on January 1, 2026. It requires doctors to complete medical marijuana education and register with OMMA before they can recommend patients for a medical marijuana card.
Can I still get my medical marijuana card online?
Yes. Telemedicine is still fully allowed under SB 1066. The law only changed the requirements for doctors, not how you meet with them. You can still do your appointment online from your phone, tablet, or computer.
What happens if my doctor isn't registered with OMMA?
OMMA will reject your application. Any recommendation signed by an unregistered physician on or after January 1, 2026 will not be accepted. You would need to get a new recommendation from a registered doctor and resubmit your application.
Does SB 1066 affect my current medical marijuana card?
No. If you already have a valid OMMA card, it stays valid until the expiration date. SB 1066 only applies when you get a new recommendation, either for a first-time card or a renewal.
How do I know if a doctor is OMMA-registered?
OMMA publishes a Voluntary Registered Physicians List on their website. You can also ask your doctor directly. All Okie MMJ Doctor physicians are fully registered and compliant.
Are Okie MMJ Doctor's physicians SB 1066 compliant?
Yes. Every physician at Okie MMJ Doctor has completed the required medical marijuana education and is registered with OMMA. Your recommendation from us will be accepted.
Does SB 1066 change the qualifying conditions for medical marijuana?
No. Oklahoma still does not have a defined list of qualifying conditions. Your doctor uses their medical judgment to determine if medical marijuana is right for you. That part of the law did not change.
How much does it cost to get a medical marijuana card?
The doctor visit at Okie MMJ Doctor is $99. The state charges a separate $100 application fee (or $20 if you have Medicaid, Medicare, or 100% veteran disability). Your card is valid for two years.
What if I got a recommendation before January 1, 2026?
Recommendations issued on or before December 31, 2025 are still valid for the full 30-day window, even if they’re submitted to OMMA after January 1. The new rules only apply to recommendations dated January 1, 2026 or later.
Can nurse practitioners or physician assistants recommend medical marijuana in Oklahoma?
No. Under Oklahoma law, only licensed allopathic physicians (MDs), osteopathic physicians (DOs), and podiatric physicians can provide medical marijuana recommendations. SB 1066 did not change this requirement.
