Yes — if you become a medical marijuana patient in Oklahoma, your information is entered into a state database managed by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA). This database is part of the licensing system and is used to verify patient cards.
There has been controversy around this because of Senate Bill 1030, which allows patient information to be accessible through the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (OLETS). Police officers can see that someone is a licensed patient during traffic stops. The legislature says this is meant to protect patients from being arrested if they don’t have their card on them. However, critics argue it could also be used by law enforcement to justify searching vehicles for cannabis use.
So, while you are not placed on a “public list,” your patient status is stored in a government-controlled database that law enforcement can access. The state has not announced any plans to change this policy.
