According to a new study by Verilife, Oklahoma surprisingly has the 2nd highest number of marijuana dispensaries per capita. The state has beat out Colorado and California.
Verilife, which owns dispensaries in several states, has found that Oklahoma ranks second in the nation in brick and mortar marijuana dispensaries per capita, with 15.6 per 100,000 residents.
The Verilife study looked at individual cities across the country and how they ranked.
With Tulsa coming in at 17th place with about 10 dispensaries per 50,000 people. Broken Arrow came in at 24th.
Matt Zajechowski, who represents the team behind the study, remarked, “Oklahoma was definitely the biggest surprise of the study for sure.”
According to Zajechowski, when the medical marijuana law passed in Oklahoma, there were no restrictions placed on how many dispensaries could be built, like other states.
