The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) acknowledged in a Facebook post on Wednesday that thousands of state-issued medical cannabis licenses had been inadvertently canceled overnight due to a software glitch.

The agency said the issue was caused by a glitch with Tentia, the state’s software provider for occupational licensing, and that regulators were “working as quickly as possible to figure out what led to this and the inconvenience it put on thousands of businesses.”

“If you are one of the thousands of businesses that received this notification, you can continue operating. Let us know you were impacted via our contact form at omma.ok.gov/contact.” — OMMA statement, via Facebook

Meanwhile, the number of Oklahoma medical cannabis operators dropped by one-third in 2024, continuing a significant downturn for the industry that was sparked in 2022 when lawmakers put a moratorium on new cannabis licenses in the state. The moratorium is scheduled to remain in place until 2026, and in the meantime, anyone looking to acquire a medical cannabis license in the state will have to purchase one from an existing licensee, and regulators must approve the transaction.

A report found in 2023 that the state’s licensed cannabis cultivators were producing 64 times more product than the market’s demand.
