Can marijuana be consumed in a privately owned marijuana dispensary?

The correct answer is that marijuana cannot be consumed in a privately owned marijuana dispensary because it is considered public space. Dispensaries are legally classified as public places, where on-site consumption of marijuana is prohibited under Oregon law. This regulation emphasizes the separation between retail operations and consumption areas, aligning with public safety and regulatory standards.

Even if the dispensary is privately owned, the nature of its business and the legal framework governing marijuana use in Oregon stipulate that consumption should occur in private residences or designated consumption areas specifically established and permitted for that purpose.

The other answers may suggest potential allowances for consumption, but they do not align with the current legal restrictions in place regarding marijuana use in public spaces, regardless of ownership.
