Oklahoma Judge Lifts Medical Cannabis Farm’s License Suspension

An administrative law judge in Oklahoma ruled last week that Cedric Gardens Inc, a state-licensed medical cannabis cultivator, can resume business operations after they were suspended by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA), KOKH reports.

OMMA regulators issued the emergency shutdown order on February 24, 2026, alleging to have found over 1,923 pounds of cannabis flower and 5,742 pounds of shake that were “untagged” and “unreconcilable” in Metrc, the state’s seed-to-sale tracking system.

But according to Cedric Gardens, which operates one of the state’s largest outdoor cannabis farms, the product was compliant with state law, and officials did not properly investigate what they found, attorney Dana L. Kurtz of Wirth Law Office said in the report.

“We proved that there was no public safety threat, and that Cedric Gardens’ business practices were approved by OMMA every year without ever citing or disciplining the business. We also established that all of the product was completely reconcilable in Metrc, which OMMA did not even bother to check before suspending the license without any evidence.” — Kurtz, via KOKH

Cedric Farms co-owner Susan Brosky said they were “elated” by the ruling, and that the company has “never provided product to the public that posed a public safety risk.”

Meanwhile, Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) said in early February that Oklahoma’s medical cannabis industry poses “one of the greatest threats to public safety” in the state, and that voters should consider repealing the program.
