OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma Reps are applauding the national appointment of Adria Berry, executive director of the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA), who has been named president of the Cannabis Regulators Association (CANNRA) Executive Board for the 2025-2026 term.

Reps. T.J. Marti, R-Tulsa; Scott Fetgatter, R-Okmulgee; and Bob Ed Culver, R-Tahlequah, released the following joint statement:

"Adria Berry’s appointment as president of CANNRA is a well-deserved honor that reflects the significant progress Oklahoma has made in regulating medical marijuana. Under her leadership, Oklahoma has become a model for other states navigating cannabis regulation. She has brought transparency, efficiency and a strong sense of purpose to an area of policy that has often been difficult to manage.

This national recognition speaks not only to her individual leadership, but also to the work being done in Oklahoma to set clear standards, enforce the law and serve patients and businesses fairly.

We are confident she will continue this important work and bring the same focus on consistent, transparent and equitable regulation that has strengthened Oklahoma’s medical cannabis program to her efforts guiding cannabis policy at the national level. We look forward to seeing the positive impact of her leadership in this new role."

Berry was elected during CANNRA’s June 9 business meeting in Denver, held ahead of its stakeholder event that drew regulators and officials from over 30 jurisdictions and 175 national and international participants.

CANNRA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit group of government agencies that regulate cannabis, cannabinoids and hemp across more than 45 U.S. states and territories, as well as several countries.
