Oklahoma Marijuana Businesses Brace for Compliance Delays in 2024
January 3, 2025 - 13:12
Oklahoma's new mandate requiring marijuana businesses to secure certificates of occupancy is set to create significant hurdles as the new year approaches. This regulation, intended to enhance safety and eliminate illegal operations within the industry, has resulted in considerable delays and financial strain for many business owners, especially those located in rural areas.
Operators are grappling with the complexities of the compliance process, which has proven to be time-consuming and cumbersome. The added pressure of meeting these new requirements has left many entrepreneurs anxious about their financial futures and the viability of their businesses. With the state's focus on ensuring that all marijuana operations adhere to safety standards, rural operators, in particular, are finding it challenging to navigate the bureaucratic landscape.
As the deadline looms, the industry is bracing for a turbulent start to 2024, with many business owners left wondering how long they will have to wait for necessary approvals and what that means for their operations moving forward.
