TULSA, Oklahoma -
A class action lawsuit was filed Thursday against the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority for its seed-to-sale tracking system the state is implementing May 1.
The state contracted a Florida based company for the program and some in the medical marijuana business say it ll cost the customers more.
The plaintiff, Beau Zoellner, says this is a nightmare situation and that if dispensaries and growers are using this system, it s ultimately going to cost customers 12 to 15 percent more to purchase medical marijuana in Oklahoma.
Zoellner and his attorney, Ronald Durbin, say they aren t upset with a tracking system but, rather, the fact the state contracted an out of state company for the job.

New Lawsuit Seeks To Halt New Medical Marijuana System
The State Health Department and the Medical Marijuana Authority are named in the new lawsuit from a law firm in Tulsa to stop the state from implementing the new Metrc system.
The system would track marijuana plants from the beginning to when they are sold from seed to sale.
The state says business owners would not be allowed to sell marijuana to Oklahomans unless tracked by Metrc. But according to the lawsuit, more than 10,000 licensed cannabis businesses are concerned about the monopoly this system would cause.
They say the Metrc program would make more than $12 million in the first year of use.
