Cannabis Law Guide & THCA Vendor SOP
Hemp Law
DEAD FOR THCA: Oregon adopted Total THC via HB 3000 (OAR 603-048-0010(51)). Total THC = THCa x 0.877 + Delta-9. OLCC March 2025 testing: 51/51 flower samples FAILED. Export of non-compliant hemp is a Class C felony (ORS 571.306 + ORS 475C.229).
Important Note
KILLED: Total THC rule + export felony. 51/51 OLCC flower samples failed March 2025 testing. NO WORKAROUND for THCA flower.
Marijuana / Cannabis Law
Measure 91 (2014) legalized adult-use. OLCC (now OCC) regulates. Mature market with oversupply challenges.
Possession Limit
1 oz in public; 8 oz at home; 4 plants; 1 oz extract
Psilocybin also legal (Measure 109, 2020). Export problem due to oversupply. Interstate commerce pilot.
