It seems that Oregon is leading the nation in legal cannabis use. With legal use for all persons over the age of 21 a trip to Oregon should be on every stoner’s travel list. Here’s what you need to know about weed in Oregon before you book a flight to Portland. So take a look at our Oregon 420 Travel guide.

Playing by the Rules: What’s Legal, What’s Not

Oregon has led the nation in cannabis usage being the first state in the nation to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana and one of the first to allow it for medical use. In October 2015 cannabis sales to recreational users from dispensaries was declared legal and as they say the rest is history. This quick graphic spells out what is legal in Oregon, specifically:

• 21 years of age
• Cannabis use is allowed on private property
• You can’t take any cannabis purchased in Oregon out of the state
• Driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal

You can find all the latest in laws here on our Recreational Marijuana Laws page.

While that pretty much covers the ground rules of buying and smoking weed during your trip to Oregon, you should also take measures to be a considerate stoner while in this great state. Although you may see locals toking up in public at festivals or concerts it’s probably a good idea to reserve your cannabis usage for a 420 friendly private place. You don’t want to get in trouble for doing something you saw someone else do when you clearly know how to play by the rules. However if you still want to enjoy your live music with weed edibles are fair game here if you eat about an hour or so before the show. Even find one of the top 10 bongs.
