Tulsa’s first medical cannabis clinic set up shop first thing Wednesday, mere hours after Oklahoma voters approved State Question 788.
A steady stream of people followed the marijuana leaf signs and big, green fabric banners waving in the wind along busy South Yale Avenue and walked into Tulsa Higher Care Clinic. The clinic owners’ cellphones rang incessantly and quickly became jammed with voicemails and hundreds of missed call notifications.
But without any patient or business licensing programs established in Oklahoma, what exactly are they selling?
“Your initial appointment is $250. That covers your first appointment and right now, because the state doesn’t have their portal set up, it also covers a follow-up appointment,” said co-owner Whitney Wehmeyer, explaining the clinic’s services to a couple of men in construction work crew T-shirts.
