Yes. Current laws for DUII have not changed. Driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) refers to operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated or drugged, including impairment from the use of marijuana. In addition, Measure 91 requires OLCC to examine, research and present a report to the Legislature on driving under the influence of marijuana. The OLCC will do this in conjunction with the Department of Justice Criminal Investigation Division and Oregon State Police.

The legislature set the base tax rate at 17 percent, however, they made provisions under certain circumstances for cities and counties to add up to an additional 3 percent tax. 

OLCC licensed retailers are subject to the 17% sales tax at the state level and up to an additional 3% at the local level. 

Measure 91 provides distribution of revenue after costs to the following: 

• 40 percent to State School Fund 
• 20 percent to Mental Health Alcoholism and Drug Services 
• 15 percent to State Police 
• 10 percent to Cities for enforcement of the measure 
• 10 percent to Counties for enforcement of the measure 
• 5 percent to Oregon Health Authority for alcohol and drug abuse prevention

OLCC retailers may not sell marijuana products that are specifically to be consumed by animals.

Yes, with limits. As of July 1, 2015, Oregonians can home grow of up to four plants per residence, regardless of how many people live in the residence. Four adults in one residence does not mean 16 plants. The limit is four per residence.

Chapter 475B defines a public place as “a place to which the general public has access and includes, but is not limited to, hallways, lobbies, and other parts of apartment houses and hotels not constituting rooms or apartments designed for actual residence, and highways, streets, schools, places of amusement, parks, playgrounds and premises used in connection with public passenger transportation.” 

No. Marijuana cannot be smoked or used in a public place. The OLCC considers any establishment with a state liquor license to be public, including patios or decks set aside for smokers. Allowing marijuana use may put an establishment’s liquor license in jeopardy. In addition, smoking and vaping in most businesses is limited by the Indoor Clean Air Act.

Medical grade means marijuana items that have a higher THC concentration limit compared to items sold to recreational customers. For example a recreational customer can buy a package of edibles that contains up to 50 mg of THC and each serving size in that package can be up to 5mg of THC. A medical grade edible sold to an OMMP registered patient can contain up to 100 mg of THC per package and there is no maximum serving size for medical grade edibles. 

If there are multiple servings of a cannabinoid concentrate, extract or product, the package must be child resistant at all times. Usable marijuana is only required to be in a child resistant package at time of sale. “Exit Package” means a sealed, child-resistant certified receptacle into which marijuana items already within a container are placed at the point of sale.
