\”Oregon is one of the earliest adopters of cannabis reform in the United States. In 1973, it became the first state to decriminalize cannabis, and in 1998, voters approved Measure 67, which established a medical cannabis program. This early acceptance paved the way for Oregon’s recreational cannabis legalization in 2014, with the passage of Measure 91. Today, adults over the age of 21 can legally possess up to 2 ounces of cannabis in public and 8 ounces at home. Oregon also allows home cultivation, permitting up to four plants per household.
The state’s recreational cannabis market is well-established, with dispensaries offering a wide range of products, including flower, concentrates, edibles, and topicals. Oregon’s focus on small businesses has helped create a diverse and competitive market, and the state is known for producing some of the highest-quality cannabis in the country. In addition to a thriving recreational market, Oregon’s medical cannabis program continues to serve patients with qualifying conditions. The state has also placed a strong emphasis on social equity and expunging past cannabis convictions. With its robust regulatory framework and focus on sustainability, Oregon remains a leader in the national cannabis industry.\”
