The History of Oregon Marijuana Business Licenses Marijuana
Medical Marijuana Program Overview: In 1998, Oregon legalized the use of medical marijuana for qualified patients. In Nov of 2014, Oregon legalized recreational marijuana allowing the Medical Marijuana Dispensary Program’s 345 registered medical marijuana dispensaries to sell a restricted and limited amount of recreational marijuana to non-patients. A list of dispensaries can be found here. There are no limits set for the amount of dispensaries allowed in the state.
Recreational Marijuana Program Overview: Measure 91 legalized in November 2014, legalizing recreational marijuana. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission was assigned to regulate the state’s recreational marijuana program and began accepting applications for the production and sale of recreational marijuana in January of 2016.
On December 20, 2018, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) adopted changes in the rules regulating recreational marijuana with a focus on tightening licensing and compliance requirements, providing licensees flexibility to conduct business, and improving access to medical marijuana for patients. The newly adopted rules can be accessed on OLCC website.
The OLCC also announced that they will no longer be processing applications for new producer licenses until after January 2, 2022. However, they will continue to accept all other applications.
