Measure 91 was approved in 2014, legalizing non-medical cultivation and uses of marijuana. In 2015, Oregon Governor Kate Brown signed an emergency bill declaring marijuana sales legal to recreational users from dispensaries starting October 1, 2015.

As of January 1, 2017, dispensaries were permitted to sell cannabis for recreational use so long as they applied for, and received, an OLCC license.
