Oklahoma Cannabis Pre-Packaging Requirements 2026: HB 2807 Compliance Guide

Is your dispensary ready for the November 1, 2025 deadline when deli-style cannabis sales end permanently?

The era of deli-style cannabis sales in Oklahoma has officially ended. With the passage of HB 2807 and its implementation effective June 1, 2025, Oklahoma cannabis pre-packaging requirements now mandate that dispensaries can no longer weigh and package flower at the point of sale. This fundamental shift in Oklahoma cannabis pre-packaging regulations represents one of the most significant operational changes to Oklahoma’s cannabis industry since legalization.

For dispensaries, growers, processors, and transporters, understanding Oklahoma cannabis pre-packaging requirements is essential for continued operation. The November 1, 2025 deadline marks the final day for selling any remaining deli-style inventory. This guide covers everything you need to know about HB 2807 compliance, Metrc workflows, Oklahoma cannabis pre-packaging labeling requirements, and operational transitions.

Understanding HB 2807: Oklahoma’s Pre-Packaging Law

Legislative Timeline

HB 3361 (2024) established the original Oklahoma cannabis pre-packaging framework. Signed by Governor Stitt on April 24, 2024, this bill laid the groundwork for ending deli-style sales in Oklahoma’s medical marijuana market.

HB 2807 (2025) expanded and amended the Oklahoma cannabis pre-packaging framework. Becoming law on May 25, 2025, effective June 1, 2025, this legislation introduced warehouse storage permits for transporters and updated fingerprint-based background check requirements.

The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) issued emergency rules on July 12, 2025 providing detailed Oklahoma cannabis pre-packaging implementation guidance. Permanent rules are expected in 2026.

Why Oklahoma Made This Change

Oklahoma’s transition to mandatory Oklahoma cannabis pre-packaging addresses several critical industry needs:

• Diversion Prevention: Pre-packaged products with sealed, tamper-evident containers make diversion significantly more difficult to execute and easier to detect.
• Contamination Control: Pre-packaging maintains product integrity from the packaging facility through final sale, reducing contamination risks.
• Labeling Accuracy: Labels applied at the source reduce errors and ensure consistency across the supply chain.
• Consumer Protection: Patients receive sealed products with clear labeling and verified weights.
• Industry Professionalism: Aligns Oklahoma with other regulated industries and mature cannabis markets nationwide.

Metrc Compliance for Oklahoma Cannabis Pre-Packaging

Package Tracking Workflow

Under Oklahoma cannabis pre-packaging rules, medical marijuana is tracked by weight, not by count. Each unit becomes a discrete trackable package requiring individual package tags.

Standard packaging workflow in Metrc:

1. Receive bulk flower into Metrc inventory
2. Create packages at specified weights (0.5g to 3oz)
3. Apply package tags to each unit
4. Record the packaging date
5. Link packages to test results and testing date
6. Transfer to dispensary with manifest documentation

For comprehensive Metrc guidance, see our Oklahoma Metrc Compliance Guide.

Transfer Documentation

New manifest requirements include license numbers for all parties. Returns and rejections must be reported in Metrc with detailed comments explaining the reason for rejection.

Inventory Reconciliation

• Weight reconciliation mandatory when converting bulk to packages
• Discrepancies must be documented with explanations
• Waste from packaging process must be tracked in Metrc
• FIFO inventory management recommended

• Certified scales accurate to 0.01 grams
