Oregon Marijuana Compliance
Along with neighboring states California and Washington, the state of Oregon enforces marijuana laws that allow the consumption, sale, and possession of both recreational and medicinal marijuana. Voters first passed the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act in 1998, making Oregon one of the first states in the country to establish a medical marijuana program.
In 2014, Oregon voters approved Measure 91 to also legalize the recreational consumption, sale, and possession of marijuana. Though Oregon marijuana law permits both recreational and medicinal consumption, employers are still permitted to conduct marijuana-related drug screenings if company workplace policy identifies marijuana consumption as a workplace violation.

Oregon Marijuana Compliance
Oregon Marijuana Laws
Overall Status: Fully Legal
Under Oregon marijuana compliance law, the consumption, sale, and possession of marijuana is legal for both recreational and medical purposes. Marijuana legalization first began in 1998 when Oregon voters passed the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act, which legalized the medical consumption of marijuana for qualifying patients. Almost two decades later, Oregon voters approved Measure 91, which fully legalized and decriminalized adult recreational marijuana consumption and sale.
Medical Marijuana: Legal
State voters passed Measure 67 (also known as the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act) in 1998, making Oregon one of the first states in the country to legalize the consumption and sale of medicinal marijuana. Under Oregon marijuana law, patients suffering from a debilitating medical condition could receive a treatment recommendation from a qualified physician to use medicinal marijuana. Qualifying conditions for medical marijuana patient status include cancer, glaucoma, severe pain, and epilepsy.
Decriminalized: Yes
Efforts to decriminalize marijuana in Oregon began in 1998 when the state legalized the consumption and sale of medicinal marijuana for qualifying patients. Fast forward to 2014, and Oregon voters passed legislation to establish recreational marijuana laws within the state. Under current recreational marijuana law, any adult Oregon resident is allowed to purchase up to an ounce of usable marijuana or 5 grams of cannabinoid extracts or concentrates daily.
Recreational Marijuana: Legal
With medical marijuana first legalized in 1998, Oregon voters pushed for full marijuana legalization with their successful passing of Measure 91 in 2014, which legalized the use and sale of recreational marijuana. Now, under current Oregon marijuana compliance law, adult users 21 years or older may legally purchase, possess, and consume up to an ounce of marijuana daily.
