Oregon legalized recreational marijuana in 2014 through Ballot Measure 91, with licensed retail outlets opening the following year. As of July 1, 2015, individuals aged 21 and older are allowed to possess up to two ounces of usable marijuana in public and up to eight ounces at home. Additionally, adults may possess up to 16 ounces of cannabinoid products in solid form, 72 ounces in liquid form, and one ounce of cannabinoid extracts purchased from a licensed retailer. Cultivation of up to four marijuana plants per residence is also allowed.
The state imposes a 17% tax on recreational marijuana sales, with local governments authorized to add up to an additional 3%. Revenue from these taxes is allocated as follows: 40% to the State School Fund, 20% to mental health and treatment services, 15% to the State Police, 20% to local law enforcement, and 5% to the Oregon Health Authority for drug treatment and prevention programs.
