Group --

What can the little town that I represent do about a person trying to run a dispensary without first being approved through OMMA and our city? What are other cities doing? Are you cutting off utilities?

Any advice is appreciated.

The MM statutes are a narrow exception to the OK Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act and did not amend the UCDSA. If they aren’t compliant with the MM statutes then they are drug dealers. Confirm with OMMA that no dispensary license has been issued (shouldn’t if they didn’t get a certificate of compliance from Town) then call the DA and get a search warrant and send the police on in.

I agree. I also think OSDH may have some authority to shut them down and you can always fall back on the nuisance statutes.

Good Luck!
