Last month, sales since 2018 surpassed $1 billion. By comparison, New Mexico has the country’s second most popular program, with about 5 percent of state residents obtaining medical cards. More than 360,000 Oklahomans-nearly 10 percent of the state’s population-have acquired medical marijuana cards over the last two years.

Eventually they purchased a 110-acre plot of land down a red dirt road about 40 miles northeast of Oklahoma City that had previously been a breeding ground for fighting cocks and started growing high-grade strains of cannabis with names like Purple Punch, Cookies and Cream and Miracle Alien. Within two weeks, they found a house to rent in Broken Bow and by February had secured a lease on an empty Oklahoma City strip mall.
