Oregon legalized recreational cannabis through Measure 91 in November 2014, with sales beginning in October 2015 — one of the earliest legal markets. The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) regulates all commercial cannabis activity. Adults 21+ may possess 1 ounce in public and grow 4 plants. Oregon has also decriminalized possession of small amounts of other drugs.
Despite recreational legality in Oregon, cannabis remains federally illegal. Employers can — and many do — still require drug tests.
The most common pre-employment test in Oregon is the urine test, which can detect THC metabolites for up to 30 days in regular users. See: How long does THC stay in urine?
