Personal THC consumption was legalized in Oregon in 2017, ending cannabis prohibition and replacing it with a system to tax and regulate cannabis for adults 21 and over. Following the Agricultural Act of 2018 ("2018 Farm Bill"), which legalized CBD and hemp production nationally by removing hemp and its derivatives (Cannabis sativa-L containing no more than 0.3% THC) from the Controlled Substances Act, Oregon chose to legalize the production and sale of certain hemp-derived THC and CBD products.

Industrial hemp production, possession, and commerce have been permitted in Oregon since January 1, 2010. (SB 676).

In response to program requirements outlined in the 2018 Farm Bill, Governor Jerry Brown signed Oregon Senate Bill 881. The Oregon Department of Agriculture issues licenses to cultivate and process industrial hemp, as well as licenses to produce and sell agricultural hemp seed. Industrial hemp farmers are required to cultivate a minimum crop of 2.5 acres.

In 2015, Oregon Governor Brown signed House Bill 3400 making recreational marijuana sales from dispensaries legal beginning October 1, 2015. State authorities started working on developing a regulatory system for marijuana sales and taxation, renaming the current Oregon Liquor Control Commission the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) to manage it. Dispensaries were no longer able to sell cannabis for recreational use after January 1, 2017, unless they applied for and got an OLCC license for such sales.

Governor Kate Brown signed House Bill 3000 into law on July 19, 2021, changing the way hemp products were sold in Oregon.

The law authorizes the sale of industrial hemp commodities or products containing more than 0.5 milligrams THC (or any "intoxicating cannabinoid" or "artificially generated cannabinoids").

The new regulation makes high-THC hemp or marijuana products as Cannabis Products for Adults. Aside from the standard age restriction that enables sales to users above 21, there are no special limits on who may buy these products.

Adult-Use Cannabinoids and Cannabis products is the new categorization under Oregon law, and it blurs the long-held difference between marijuana and hemp.

Medical Marijuana in Oregon

The term “medical marijuana” refers to using the whole unprocessed marijuana plant or its basic extracts to treat a disease or symptom. Studies show that the marijuana plant contains chemicals that may help treat a range of illnesses or symptoms, and can assist patients suffering from serious medical conditions by alleviating pain and improving their quality of life.

While some states have already legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes, the issue is still being hotly debated in many others. As of 2019, a total of 41 states in the US have successfully legislated medical marijuana programs, with 19 states adopting recreational cannabis programs, and 23 states decriminalizing cannabis entirely.

Cannabis is legal in Oregon for all individuals over the age of 21. A person with written certification from a physician may seek registration under this act in order to qualify for the use of medical marijuana. Medical cannabis can be bought at state-licensed dispensaries by patients and caregivers who have registered with the Department of Consumer Protection.

In November 1998, Oregon voters approved the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (Ballot Measure 67) which allowed the use of marijuana for medical purposes, within specified limits. The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act provides legal protections for qualified patients, requires a physician-written statement of the patient’s qualifying debilitating medical condition, allows for a caregiver to provide assistance, and mandates an Oregon Health Authority (OHA) registration system.

According to Oregon state regulations:

• Patients possession limits: twenty-four ounces of usable cannabis
• Home cultivation: six mature cannabis plants, 18 immature seedlings
• Caregivers: designated primary caregiver is the person that has significant responsibility for managing the well-being of a person who has been diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition. Primary caregiver does not include the patient’s physician. The caregiver must be 18 years of age or older. A patient may only have one primary caregiver.

How strong is Delta-9 THC?

The strength of Delta 9 and its effect on a person depends on 2 factors:

1. The dose of Delta 9 taken
2. How accustomed the consumer is to taking Delta 9 THC

Additionally, the following factors also influence how Delta 9 affects the person taking it:

• What is the consumption method? Some THC substances travel through the lungs and become accessible more quickly (like vaping or smoking). Some products must be digested (like edibles, gummies, oils, or capsules). These various forms may influence how long it takes to affect your brain and how powerful Delta 9 will affect you. Some forms of consumption have a quick and intense impact, while others have a longer, constant, and less obvious psychoactive effect.
• What is the quality of the Delta 9 used? Is it pure? Is it saturated with chemicals or other substances? What percentage of Delta 9 THC is consumed? Higher levels have far greater impacts.
• How often is the product used? If you take Delta 9 THC and other cannabinoids on a daily basis, they will remain in your system and influence how responsive you are to new inputs of Delta 9.

Is Delta 9 an indica or sativa?

Delta 9 itself is neither an indica or a sativa, but it can come from either of the two main strain types of the cannabis plant: Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica.

Unlike hemp-derived Delta 9, cannabis-derived Delta 9 THC is not federally legal.

Do Delta 9 Gummies show up on a drug test?
