What does a Dispensary in Oklahoma Sell?
When researching seed banks that ship to Oklahoma, you rarely find sites willing to take the time Kind Seed Co does in helping their client-base better understand the ins and outs of the marijuana market in their area. Just as our seeds are selected and used to grow some of this nation’s award-winning strains, they are also used in making this state’s fantastic array of extracts and edibles, and all these products can be found in an Oklahoma dispensary.
These places of pot product proprietorship have made real waves in America over the past decade, and those operating within OK delineation offer everything the medicinal consumer could need to experience real healing. A vast selection of concentrates, vapes and vape cartridges, flowers, topicals and edibles are available every day of the week in dozens of dispensaries throughout the state. Registered patients who explore these places are helped by empathetic and understanding budtenders and pot professionals who make it their daily business to serve Oklahoman medicinal needs, whatever they may be.
When this goal is attained, the Oklahoma dispensary sells quality of life on tap. This helps patients deal with life on life’s terms a little better, a little more comfortably, and makes the cannabis dispensary a reliable friend to all citizens in need.
Edibles
Looking a little more closely at what goes on inside a dispensary, we see that they offer numerous means of healing to choose from. One such avenue is the edible market and let us here remove all doubt about the efficacy of edibles to the Oklahoman looking for physical relief. Whereas a joint or dab will act more cerebral and a little bit physical, the decarboxylated compounds in your edibles act in a much more physically impactive manner, and can even sedate, so be warned.
Edibles take many forms. From gummies, taffy and other candies, to capsules and fresh, creamy and fizzy drinks to wash them down, there is a literal treasure-trove of products available to consumers in the OK. Another note of excitement is that the edible market doesn’t just stop at the obvious markers but goes well beyond. The imagination of confectioners and chefs throughout Oklahoma is rich, and flower-loving foodies continue to deliver to us an ever-increasing number of delectable delights, so we are never disappointed with the selection in front of us.
Bagging Cannabis Cups all over the country are potato and corn chips, iced-creams, cakes, cookies and custards. There are also health-food and workout products available, such as cannabis-infused protein powders and other pre-mixed shakes, organic fruit and nut bars and so many more that no happy edible consumer here need go without a top-notch edible to enjoy.
Topicals
Another fantastic category of herb endeavor of product professionals in the great state of Oklahoma is topicals. Lotions, creams and oils of all types, ranging from simple hand-cream to pain-killing salves and ointments are on the menu as well and, if you can enter a dispensary and shop in this state, then these products are available to you.
Lotions and creams have, for centuries, aided the modern man or woman in their pursuit of fresher, clearer skin and overall healthier dermal regeneration. The reasons one may employ a cannabis-infused cream are numerous, and the caring budtenders at your local shop are going to know the perfect treatment for you. Oils are a big deal as well, as they go into topicals of all sorts, or can be left on their own. These go into creating the many range of oil-based creams and salves designed for treatments of things like burns or scratches, to more serious issues, such as deep muscle and joint pain and inflammation.
Citizens of Oklahoma are, as well, allowed to create their own medicinal topicals. Simply process the raw plant material you harvest from your plants into concentrates and mix them in. One point of caution is that there is little way for the home-based cream-lover to know the strength of their creation. Though these creations might do the trick, there is little way to manage potency, so it pays to shop with the products which have been tested or send your own products off for testing before using them.
Flowers
So that Oklahoman consumers can get a better idea of the flowers we see in front of us, let’s take a look at a basic outline of the universal cannabis grading system. These four categories are designed to illuminate certain qualities the epicurean judge looks for and are here for us to use as a guide when managing our buds.
A-grade weed is the first on the list and describes the industrial and post-extraction material. This is the fibrous stalks and stems, fan-leaves and low-grade trim, and is often sold to product manufacturers when it houses less than 0.3% THC.
AA is the classification given to buds and trim which are destined for extraction. Sure, you can smoke this stuff, but it is usually loose, leafy, and unfit for curing but perfect for oils. This category also covers some of the better buds, fine for home-based growers consuming their own products, but which would be passed over in dispensaries.
AAA is the grade of cannabis which we start to see in dispensaries, and which is fragrant, flavorful, well-developed and potent. Triple-A buds are the ones most of us see every day and which are easily accessible to any grower with their environments dialed-in, but which are just short of perfection.
AAAA buds are the cream of the crop, the top dawgs, the frostiest specimens, most colorful, flavorful and fragrant. These buds have been harvested at the perfect time, dried slowly in ideal conditions and have undergone a successful cure.
Concentrates
Due to the ever-increasing popularity of vape pens, concentrate markets throughout the Raccoon State have been growing exponentially. The products available to consumers are ever-more varied and of higher recreational and medicinal values, so when Oklahoma boasts labor omnia vincit, there should be no doubt that our state’s concentrate manufacturers are included in any praise given.
Live resin like shatter, budder and wax are ready to go en masse in your pick of Oklahoma’s dozens of dispensaries. Cartridges, bursting with hash oil and dab rigs packed with your favorite rosin or other distillate are always a nice way to spend an afternoon. Maybe you are the type to grow Weed Seeds’ weed seeds to make your own private stash of Hash or bubble hash, and we know some citizens in the OK are delivering some pretty potent presses. Many consumers enjoy the ease of crumble and diamonds, two substances which are every bit the potency of any other concentrate, but which are dry rather than sticky, much simpler to manage and much less of a mess.
If you are a fan of terpenes and a truly crushing kick with little effort and little needed material, then concentrates might just be the stuff for you. Most of us love a good joint, but when you ride with concentrates, you’ve got a nondescript delivery method, your choice of distillates to run with, and these creations pack the punch experienced tokers are looking for.
Testing Kits
There are an incredible number of reasons to test a substance, ranging from legal to medical and beyond, and the methods of testing can be just as diverse. Employers and judicial representatives of all sorts can employ a spot test with a cocaine testing kit, opiates testing kit or other, to assess whether an individual is on drugs and therefore breaking protocol or the law. Those medical professionals working in safe injection sites can employ an opiate testing kit or a strictly fentanyl testing kit to properly delineate the boundaries of a safer dose. Whereas many kits can operate effectively on urine, things like the MDMA testing kit and many a methamphetamine testing kit can also use hair or blood in order to procure pertinent information.
But there is more to testing than testing for the presence of drugs. Testing the drugs themselves for purity, potency, chemical makeup, is a massive market in America. Of course, there is a Cannabinoids Testing Kit for those suspected of operating heavy machinery after some hits from the bong, but it is also the responsibility of producers to test their products for market. This is not only regulatory, but helps everyone from the distributor to the budtender, the medical professional and the hopeful consumer, to delineate the perfect pot for them. These decisions are based on educated and informed opinions, and it is all thanks to testing these products before they hit the shelves.
Vapes
Vapes are a fantastic little creation, though we should mention that those in love with disposables better act fast because the sustainability crew is catching on and they are less than impressed. Since the first nicotine and cannabis-based vapes hit the shelves, the vape pen has swept all states by storm, Oklahoma included. These innovative little sticks of love are self-contained smoke machines which deliver a full hit of cannabinoids and terpenes, through rather simple innovation.
There are a variety of styles and designs of vaporizer, and they are aimed at housing just your brand of concentrate, so you can carry your tokes with you while on the go. Charge-up the body, pop some vape oil or other concentrate into the cartridge and hit the town. Cartridges are interchangeable and replaceable, so one consumer can have a kit of different types of distillates, all meant to serve a different time of day or motivation. When in need, simply switch-out your product, fire up the atomizer and that’s all that is necessary to keep moving and maintain composure.
These devices generally operate at between 350-375 degrees, turning your concentrate to vapor without losing anything, as one would with a doobie or an ill-managed dab. There are some vaporizers on the market which contain control mechanisms so the consumer can find the perfect temperature for their particular choice of product. Really, these things are fun, functional and user-friendly, and they are available everywhere throughout Oklahoma.
Seed Starts
We are a seed company; that’s what we do. We have seeds ranging from the simplest autoflower to the most finicky photoperiod strain and they have all been bred by expert American hands. Kind Seed Co wants all residents of the home of the Cowboy Hall of Fame to have the opportunity to grow Hall of Fame weed and, for this, you need to start seeds.
Though there are some clone-only strains left out there, starting a seedling and parenting it through maturity to the flowery fruit you crave is a beautiful and exciting process. Germination is a quick and easy process, taking anywhere from a swift 2-4 days, depending on how you chose to sprout. To affect a perfect plant sprout requires only a little moisture, ambient humidity and a bit of light. Once your seedling breaks ground, crank up the lights and the humidity and get growing.
Some people employ an aeroponic cloner, which we will discuss in the next section, or a bubble-top to protect seedlings from moisture-loss. It is imperative that ambient humidity sits, like temperatures, between 68-75%rH. This is so that the plant can breathe while establishing roots. Maintaining root and plant health is top priority throughout all phases of the grow and, once your plants hit the vegging phase, start feeding and get that air flowing to strengthen the crop. High light levels throughout the show will ensure tight node development, making bigger and brighter futures for your seedlings.
Clones
For stability of operations, for consistency of product, to protect your creation and for many other reasons, cloning cannabis is a nationwide pastime and it has been for decades. In fact, some of our most popular strains have been generated from once clone-only genetics, thanks to the high demand placed upon producers to reveal ancestral genetics.
Cutting clones from carefully chosen mother plants, the grower can achieve genetically identical individuals, at their discretion. Having planted and parented as many natural seeds as it takes to come up with the best, and with single-pointed ambition having preserved specific females, the botanist then removes only what is necessary to both generate clones and to promote subsequent branching in the mother. Keeping plants on an 18/6 lighting schedule will keep them in a vegetative state and, for a few months, the whole process can be repeated on each specimen.
This can all be daunting to someone first starting out, but let it be known that cutting clones doesn’t take a professional, and with a few simple tools, you can engage in a whole new world of horticultural endeavor. Once you remove the shoot to be cloned, dip the cut-site in rooting hormone and place the shoot cut-site down in rockwool. Contraptions like the aeroponic cloner can improve success-rates by offering a table-top controlled environment. While fresh air is pushed through the developing root-systems, the tops are kept moist by high humidity, an environment critical to both tops and root-systems’ early development.
Headshop Merchandise
There is a magical something about smoking. There is a certain cherished type of ceremony to choosing one’s cannabis product carefully, or employing grinders and custom rolling papers to roll that special kind of doobie you’ve been working on, or pressing the best and loading up your choice of dab rigs, pipes or vapes. These and other merchandise are easily found in any of Oklahoma’s many head shops.
These are the places of puff which sell everything related to smoking, vaping, dabbing and all the rest. If you need glass pipes like bongs and other water cooled pipes and down pipes, you will find all of this and more in the OK headshop. No need to go anywhere else for your fire, either. The Oklahoma head shop boasts an array of torches and other lighters, butane and screens, so no matter what you have to light, your needs are covered. Head shops are also the places to get your trays, rolling machines, spare parts and where the employees available to connect with, know their stuff.
In some of these establishments, one can also find clothing and other hemp and plant-based apparel, cases for your favorite pipes and bongs, hookah and tobacco products, vape juice and even art. Some of these places have begun to sell kratom products as well, something we will get into in the next section. Really, the Oklahoma head shop or smoke shop offers everything the cannabis consumer could need to enjoy smoking in style.
Kratom
Kratom or Mitragyna speciosa, is a derivative of a coffee-like plant native to Asia, which contains both stimulant and opiate properties. Kratom has, over the past few years, taken the Western world by storm, soothing and exciting consumers of kratom tea and kratom capsules, yet raising the eyebrows of some of the more cautious health professionals.
This substance has been utilized in Asia for hundreds of years, and behaves much like a mild opioid. Stimulating, relaxing and psychologically and spiritually uplifting, consumers in Oklahoma, too, enjoy the satisfying array of kratom effects. These are delivered to consumers through recognizable brand names, such as Bali Reserve, Borneo Reserve and Enhanced Malay, utilizing the different species of Mitragyna, red vein, green vein and white vein.
Much of this country has seen kratom controlled at state levels, though Oklahoma is still open to the concept of freedom, and these products are available. Anything can become an issue when used disrespectfully and, though kratom’s effects can be soothing and relaxing, the addictive qualities have been likened to opium. There are mixed reviews though and, as little is known about this substance other than its penchant for hooking consumers and, given the fact that it has been banned in many countries around the world, including its native territories, we suggest going easy on it.
Psilocybin Mushrooms
Shrooms, shroomies, love-caps, fuzzy bunnies or titty-twisters, whatever you want to call them, Magic Mushrooms have for centuries been of critical import to cultures and societies all around the planet. Some of the earliest arts and crafts depict mushrooms as gateways to the gods, other pieces see them as nature’s most powerful medicine, and today, medical doctors, scientists and clinicians of many sorts sing praises over the ability of Psybin Mushrooms to reprogram the brain.
Psilocybin, the active hallucinogenic compound found in these critters, induces intense kaleidoscopic euphoria and vivid waking dreams, and with the right guide, one can achieve much healing of old and stagnating traumas, often coming out the other side a new person. This is no small claim, we know; but the evidence has been substantiated over millennia. Even today, in Oakland, California and Denver, Colorado, where legislation to decriminalize is on the table, therapists and psychologists are employing our little funky friends in patient studies and are documenting some incredibly promising results.
It should be noted that those untrained in identifying mushrooms, edible, magic or otherwise, should never pick anything from the wild. Mushroom species, though critical to soil health and plant interaction and though some are super yummy, many can poison, toxify and even kill a full-grown human being. Trust your source and be smart.
We hope we have painted a pretty clear picture of what one can expect in the Oklahoma cannabis market.

We can be reached at 1-844-807-1234 or support@kindseed.com, or you’re free to swing by between the hours of 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
