The expansion of Oregon medical-marijuana marketers into recreational sales would mark a very different industry evolution than in Washington. …
In Oregon, the wording of the 35-page ballot measure assures that there would be plenty of other differences from the legalization of marijuana in Washington:
- The Oregon initiative would allow people to grow up to four plants in their homes, a practice prohibited under Washington’s marijuana law. Oregon would allow users to possess 8 ounces of pot for recreational use at home, compared to 1 ounce in Washington.
- In hopes of creating a more efficient industry, the Oregon initiative would allow for a single business enterprise to grow, process and sell marijuana. In Washington, separate businesses are required for each of those functions.
