Now that it will be legal, I posted this for those who intend on partaking.(BTW, if you work for Preston, youll be fired if its found in your system.) When I can start smoking? Oregonians with an interest in lighting up a joint will have to wait until at least July 1, 2015 when the law takes effect. How much can I possess? At that time any person 21 or older whether theyre a resident of Oregon or not can possess up to 1 ounce of pot (about 28 joints) on their person, up to 8 ounces in their home and up to four plants. The law also allows a person to posses up to 1 pound of solid edibles like cookies, 72 ounces of marijuana-infused liquid like soda or lotion and 1 ounce of marijuana extract. STATESMANJOURNAL Oregonians legalize marijuana So, I can buy marijuana in July? Dont grab for your wallet just yet. Recreational sales wont likely start until at least January 2016. Thats because Measure 91 gives the Oregon Liquor Control Commission until Jan. 1, 2016 to finalize the rules governing production, processing and selling of marijuana. People looking for legal marijuana from July to January will have to grow their own or be given some from a friend. Sales of both plants and products wont be legal until OLCC issues licenses to retailers and sales start. Can I bring marijuana back from Washington after July? Federal law still prohibits transporting marijuana across state lines — which mean you cant drive to Washington and bring marijuana back even though its legal in both states. Oregon will enforce state law, but the decision to prosecute someone federally after July 1 will be made by the U.S. Attorneys Office and the Oregon Veterans Health Administration (VHA) - U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Justice, Oregon State Police spokesman Gregg Hastings said. You also cant ship your pot to a friend in Alaska, Colorado, or Washington D.C. because federal law still prohibits the shipping of controlled substances like marijuana. STATESMANJOURNAL The looming fight to tax recreational marijuana Could using marijuana impact my job? Well, that depends. The law doesnt prohibit businesses from firing employees who test positive for marijuana. Pot is still illegal under federal law and many national and international companies may continue to have a zero tolerance policy.
