Medical marijuana as an industry is booming in Oklahoma, with sales, patients, growers, processors and dispensaries continuing to increase throughout the state.

But while it may seem like there is a dispensary on every corner, not every property owner is open to leasing to marijuana-related businesses.

“If you look at the numbers, we are way oversaturated on retail dispensaries,” University of Central Oklahoma professor David Chapman said. “Here’s the fear ... the brokers get calls all day long about dispensaries, and we’re all starting to feel like some of them are going to start to fail.”

Medical marijuana businesses just now jumping into the market lack the established business most others have already worked for. This can cause concern for a property owner seeking to establish a tenant for a long-term lease, according to Chapman.
