A Green Rush of Epic Proportions
Back in the day (like, a year or two ago), Oklahoma decided to throw open the dispensary doors like it was a Black Friday sale on happiness. Licenses were cheap, regulations were loose, and entrepreneurs with a green thumb (and a business plan) flooded the market. The result? A mind-boggling number of dispensaries - we're talking more dispensaries than Starbucks (and let's be honest, that's a lot of places to grab a buzz).
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
But Wait, There's More! (Dispensaries, That Is)
By April 2023, estimates suggested there were around 2,881 dispensaries in Oklahoma. That's roughly one dispensary for every 128 patients with a medical marijuana card. Talk about convenience!
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
However, the market seems to be finding its sweet spot. With some consolidation and a more measured approach, the number of dispensaries has dipped a bit in 2024.

So, How Many Dispensaries Are There Now? (Asking for a Friend)
This is where things get a little fuzzy. Since Oklahoma isn't exactly Fort Knox with its dispensary data, pinpointing an exact number is tricky. But as of January 2024, estimates suggest there are still a whopping 2,387 dispensaries in the state. That's still enough to make your head spin (in a good way, hopefully).
Tip: Write down what you learned.
Moral of the story? Oklahoma has dispensary density like nobody's business.
