WHY IT MATTERS: Oklahoma medical cannabis patients may see shifts in dispensary availability and product selection as licensing freezes and cultivation limits reshape which businesses can survive in an already competitive market.

Legislative efforts to extend moratoriums on new business licenses and cap cultivation operations reflect an attempt to bring structure to an industry that expanded faster than oversight mechanisms could follow.
