An Oklahoma drug tax stamp also applies to the possession of controlled substances, as outlined in Okla. Stat. tit. 68 § 450.2.

Failure to have the appropriate Oklahoma drug tax stamp is a crime that can lead to fines and jail time.

This tax is payable by a distributor or dealer immediately upon acquisition or possession of a controlled substance in the state. The distributor or dealer must then immediately affix the stamps obtained from paying the tax to the drug packages. Each Oklahoma drug tax stamp may be used only once.

A “dealer” is defined as a person who – in violation of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act – manufactures, distributes, produces, ships, transports, or imports into Oklahoma or in any manner acquires or possesses more than 42.5 grams of marijuana, or seven or more grams of any controlled dangerous substance other than marijuana, or 10 or more dosage units of any controlled dangerous substance other than marijuana which is not sold by weight.

Penalty

Any dealer shall pay a civil penalty of 100% of the amount of the tax levied in addition to the actual tax levied.

Any dealer manufacturing, distributing, producing, shipping, transporting, importing, or possessing any controlled dangerous substance without affixing the appropriate Oklahoma drug tax stamp, upon conviction, is guilty of a felony offense.
