The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) says a technical issue with its licensing platform has mistakenly canceled thousands of active business licenses.
According to OMMA, a glitch in the Thentia system triggered erroneous notifications to licensed businesses stating their licenses had expired. The agency says affected businesses are still legally allowed to operate and should contact OMMA using the form at omma.ok.gov/contact.
Several licensed businesses have reported receiving cancellation notices via email at around 3am. In a public statement, OMMA said, “We are aware of a Thentia glitch that canceled business licenses. Please hold tight; we’re working as quickly as possible to figure out what led to this and the inconvenience it put on thousands of businesses.”
OMMA says it is working with its vendor to resolve the issue and will continue providing updates as the situation develops.
