LET’S WALK THROUGH SOME IMPORTANT FACTS RELATED TO
OREGON’S RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA LAWS.
Fact #1
YOU CAN POSSESS AND USE
RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA IF YOU ARE
21 AND OLDER. IF YOU ARE YOUNGER,
IT’S ILLEGAL.
If you’re 21 and older, you can also grow up to four plants on
your property, possess up to eight ounces of usable
marijuana (dried marijuana flowers or leaves that are ready
to smoke) in your home and carry up to one ounce in public.
Recreational marijuana cannot be used in public, however.
Fact #2
YOU CAN USE RECREATIONAL
MARIJUANA AT HOME OR ON PRIVATE
PROPERTY. PUBLIC USE IS ILLEGAL.
A good rule of thumb: If someone outside of your home
can see you, you’re probably in public.
Fact #3
YOU CAN POSSESS UP TO 8 OUNCES OF
USABLE MARIJUANA IN YOUR HOME AND
1 OUNCE OF USABLE MARIJUANA
OUTSIDE THE HOME.
Usable marijuana means dried marijuana flowers or
leaves that are ready to smoke.
Fact #4
YOU CAN GROW UP TO 4 PLANTS PER
RESIDENCE, OUT OF PUBLIC VIEW.
You can grow up to 4 marijuana plants per residence,
regardless of how many people live in the residence.
For example, two adults in one residence may still only
have 4 plants.
Fact #5
DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
MARIJUANA REMAINS ILLEGAL. PLEASE
BE RESPONSIBLE.
Driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) refers
to operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated or
drugged, including impairment from the use of
marijuana.
Fact #6
APPROVED MEDICAL DISPENSARIES MAY
SELL SMALL AMOUNTS OF MARIJUANA TO
RECREATIONAL USERS OF LEGAL AGE.
Adults 21 and older can share or give away recreational marijuana,
receive it as a gift, grow their own (4 plants per residence), or purchase it
from approved medical dispensaries.
Licensed retail stores are likely to open in late 2016.
Fact #7
YOU CAN’T TAKE MARIJUANA IN OR OUT
OF THE STATE. THAT INCLUDES
WASHINGTON.
You can’t buy marijuana in another state or take it from
Oregon across state lines. Crossing state lines with
recreational marijuana is a federal offense.
Fact #8
YOU CAN MAKE EDIBLE PRODUCTS AT
HOME OR RECEIVE THEM A GIFTS, BUT
YOU CAN ONLY USE THEM ON PRIVATE
PROPERTY.
The OLCC will take the necessary time to get the
availability of edibles and extracts right. They will
eventually be available at retail outlets licensed by the
OLCC, but probably not at the same time that the
stores are expected to open (likely sometime in 2016).
