Oregon, like the rest of the west coast states such as California, and to a lesser extent Washington, have a great tradition with cannabis for a long time, and many people do not know that this was the first state in the USA to decriminalize it. use of cannabis.

Medical or therapeutic use has been approved since the last century, more specifically since 1998, but in 2014 Oregonians voted en masse to also legalize recreational use of recreational for adults, although with certain conditions.

This state was one of the first to grant permits to buy and grow marijuana to cannabis patients, and later became one of the first to also legalize the use, cultivation, and purchase for adult users.

Yes, but not anywhere, it can only be done in authorized places, private homes or in one of the few smoking rooms in Oregon. If you are a visitor or tourist, the ideal would be to find accommodation in one of the cannabis-friendly hotels in this state.

Consuming marijuana in public is still illegal, not only to smoke, but also to vaporize. It is not worth the risk, because if you are caught smoking weed in a public space it can lead to a good financial fine ($ 1000 or more) or even jail, depending on the context.

πŸ‘Œ How much marijuana is legal to carry in Oregon?

 

The possession limits are the same as the purchase limits, so it would be impossible to buy more in a single transaction than what can be legally owned. These limitations are different depending on whether you are a recreational or medicinal consumer, and the format of the cannabis product, in the following list you can see the maximum quantities of each type of product that can be purchased and possessed recreationally:

 

  • 1 ounce of buds (28 g)
  • 5 grams of concentrate or extract
  • 16 ounces of edibles infusate cannabis (454 grams)
  • 72 ounces of beverage cannabis infused (2 liters)
  • four immature plants
  • 10 seeds marijuana

 

Patients medicinal cannabis or caregivers authorized are allowed to buy and own larger quantities of some products, below you can see the maximum:

  • 5 grams of extracts

✨ Is growing marijuana legal in Oregon?

 

Yes, but with quite a few restrictions, so you have to be careful not to break the rules. People over 21 years of age can grow up to 4 plants at home, but only 4 plants at most per home, and this can be a problem in homes where there are multiple adult consumers. The crop has to be hidden from public view, so giant plants cannot be grown outdoors.

Another added problem is that it cannot be grown in homes that are located less than 1000 feet (305 meters) from a school, preventing many neighbors from obtaining their own harvest for self-consumption. Breaking this rule can lead to up to 25 years in prison and fines that can reach $ 375,000, almost nothing. In the case of exceeding the number of floors allowed by each house, the penalty can reach $ 125,000.

Authorization card patients or their caregivers can grow up to 6 mature and 12 immature plants at a time. We believe that in the near future a greater number of plants will be able to be cultivated in this state, both for medicinal consumers and those over 21 years of age.

Oregon allows the purchase of marijuana seeds, and you already know that at Pevgrow we ship in the fastest and most economical way, both seeds and any cultivation material and paraphernalia. If you prefer to buy in a physical hydroponics store, you also have many available in this state.

⭐ Conclusion

 

You have already seen that in Oregon it is easy to get quality marijuana completely legally, but you have to be very careful to consume it in the appropriate places adequately, because the laws in this state are very severe in this regard, and can lead to serious problems. Another thing you have to keep in mind is that within the state there are federal territories that have other laws, and there are even counties or cities that can establish their own cannabis regulations.
