2026 Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Business Study Launches to Capture the Opinions of Owners, Workers
Key Takeaway
The 2026 Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Business Study launched as an anonymous online survey capturing the opinions of cannabis business owners and workers across the state. Participation is limited to owners and workers aged 18 and older, with data collection focused on operational challenges, regulatory concerns, and business conditions under Oklahoma's mature but contracting medical cannabis market. The five-minute survey is part of an academic and industry research effort to document Oklahoma's experience as a cautionary tale for other states considering permissive cannabis licensing. Oklahoma's medical market has shrunk significantly since 2023 amid oversupply and license surrenders. For cannabis researchers and policymakers, the study will provide important data on market dynamics.
