Plant Limits
Overview
Oregon was one of the first states to legalize recreational cannabis, passing Measure 91 in November 2014 with retail sales beginning in October 2015. Adults 21 and older may grow up to 4 cannabis plants per household for personal recreational use. Oregon has a long history of cannabis cultivation and a well-established community of home growers.
Medical cannabis patients registered through the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) may grow up to 6 plants per site. Oregon's climate, particularly in southern regions, is well-suited for outdoor cannabis cultivation. Plants must be kept in a secure area that prevents public access and visibility. Local jurisdictions may impose reasonable regulations on the time, place, and manner of cultivation.
