Oregon Measure 91

Oregon Measure 91, passed in November 2014, legalized the recreational use of marijuana for adults aged 21 and older. The measure allows individuals to grow, possess, and consume cannabis within specified limits, while also implementing regulations for the production and sale of marijuana. It established a framework for licensing marijuana businesses and imposed taxes on sales, with revenue allocated for education, healthcare, and substance abuse programs. This legislation marked Oregon as one of the first states to fully regulate recreational marijuana, reflecting a shift in public policy toward cannabis use.
