Ardmore has 23 dispensaries licensed by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA). Each one is a medical dispensary that can sell only to holders of an OMMA patient, caregiver or 30-day out-of-state temporary license who also show a government-issued photo ID. Ardmore sits on I-35 about 30 miles north of the Red River, and Texas drivers should know before they exit: Texas patients cannot qualify for Oklahoma's temporary license.
Ardmore has a lot of dispensaries for its size, and travelers between Dallas and Oklahoma City often ask whether a visitor can buy at all. For Texans, the answer is no. For licensed patients, stores cluster on 12th Avenue NW, Commerce Street and Grand Avenue.

Ardmore and Oklahoma Cannabis Laws: Purchase Limits, Public Use and Driving
Recreational marijuana is illegal in Oklahoma; voters turned down State Question 820 in March 2023. Licensed patients can buy up to 3 ounces of marijuana, 1 ounce of concentrate and 72 ounces of edibles per transaction, carry 3 ounces and store 8 ounces at home.
Texas visitors: OMMA's temporary license requires a medical marijuana license issued by your home state's government, and OMMA specifically says Texas patients are not eligible because Texas does not issue one. Oklahoma patients cannot carry cannabis into Texas either. Smoking or vaping marijuana is banned wherever tobacco smoking is banned, and driving with any amount of marijuana or its metabolites in your system is a DUI. The Chickasaw National Recreation Area near Sulphur, northeast of town, is federal land where cannabis is illegal. Full details are in our Oklahoma marijuana law guide.
