Measure 91 (Oregon)

Measure 91, passed in Oregon in 2014, legalized the recreational use of marijuana for adults aged 21 and older. It allows adults to possess up to one ounce of usable cannabis and cultivate up to four cannabis plants at home. The measure establishes a regulatory system for licensing cultivation, processing, and retail sales, aiming to reduce illegal markets and generate tax revenue. Sales are taxed at specific rates, funding public health, safety programs, and education. Overall, Measure 91 aims to regulate marijuana like alcohol, enabling responsible adult use while addressing public safety and economic benefits.
